Brazil is investigating oil spill in 120km from the coast of Rio de Janeiro state. The responsibility of the spill lies on the US company Chevron. About 600 barrels of oil shaped a slick on the water. Fortunately the spill moves away from Brazilian coast as more than 17 ships clearing up the spill. In case Chevron does not fulfill its obligations to clean the area after the spill it will be very severely punished, said Edison Lobao, Brazilian energy minister. At the moment environment experts are estimating the scale of a spill.
