Xinhua said, 300-meter-long oil stains were found on the beach at Jingtang port, Hubei province, northern China. Large oil stains about 1-3 cm are also found on a sea of 4 km wide on the coast of Liaoning province in the northeast.
Lin Fangzhong, an official from the Ocean Administration, insisted that the said oil flows on the sea from the Penglai 193 oilfield, Bohai Bay, east of China in the last oil spill.
Meanwhile, in this area, crude oil continues to leak at 1 liter / day, said Lin Fangzhong.
The Bohai Bay oil spill began on June 13, but it wasn't until early July that the incident was widely announced.
At the Penglai 193 rig, CNOOC China Offshore Oil Company and ConocoPhiliips of the United States have signed the operation. However, during the operation, an area of about 840 to over 4,000 square kilometers was heavily polluted by the spill.
