Yes, oil companies are required by law to take responsibility for any oil spills that may occur, as well as all the consequences that this spill can cause. In addition, these companies are required to establish leakage containment plans and establish guidelines that encourage the maintenance of their equipment so that any type of leakage is avoided.

The company that allows an oil spill, in addition to paying a fine, should bear the costs of removing and cleaning the affected area, responsibility for social and biological damages, in addition to being obliged to raise an investigation to find the culprits for the spill.
