As much as half a million tonnes of natural gas, 80 percent of it methane, leaked into the deep sea as a result of the blowout on April 20, 2010, on BP's Deepwater Horizon rig. The leak triggered a surprising "bloom" of marine bacteria that feasted on the gassy hydrocarbon plume. The bugs performed a valuable environmental service, helping to prevent gas from lingering in the sea -- where it would contribute to ocean acidification -- or from escaping to the air, where it would add to the greenhouse-gas problem. The bloom was so dramatic that, by the end of August, tests suggested all the gas had been mopped out by these natural little helpers. But in a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Sunday, US marine scientists said the bloom abruptly declined at the end of June, even as methane concentrations remained about 5,000 times above background levels.
