US Coast Guard responding to crude oil spill in Gulf of Mexico

Nov 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Coast Guard said on Friday it was coordinating a response with Main Pass Oil Gathering Co (MPOG) and the Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's Office to an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

An overflight by a company aircrew confirmed the presence of crude oil near MPOG's pipeline system close to Plaquemines Parish, southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana, on Thursday, the Coast Guard said.
