A large amount of data from the Department of Energy about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was made available online today.

Here's a look at some of what was made available:

+ Key Events Timeline (.ppt)
- This document lists key events beginning with the April 20 fire on the Deepwater Horizon through June 4.

BOP Stack Details

This page provides information about a number of the key components of the system: the Blow Out Preventer, the Lower Marine Riser Package, and the associated piping which is located above the wellhead on the sea floor.

+ Blow Out Preventer Drawing (.pdf)
- This file is an engineering drawing of the Blow Out Preventer with the key components labeled.

+ Pressure Data Within BOP (.xls)

And Much More.
