Mon, 26 Dec 2011 20:50:02 +0100 (AP) - An unidentified Shell worker aboard the Bonga offshore oil vessel off the coast of Nigeria, Monday, Dec. 26, 2011. Officials with Royal Dutch Shell PLC say they've contained the worst Nigeria offshore oil spill in more than a decade. Shell officials said Monday that the Dec. 20 spill that saw less than 40,000 barrels of oil pouring into the Atlantic Ocean has been dispersed. Shell officials acknowledged those aboard the Bonga vessel only noticed the spill after seeing it in the morning light, likely hours after it began leaking. (AP Photo/Sunday Alamba)
