I have included some lists of where oil spills have occurred. Some very large oil spills occurred during wars (Kuwait-Iraq War, Iran-Iraq War, World War II), and these were intentional, so they do not show up on lists of accidental oil spills.
Also, there are many different causes for oil spills. There are accidents associated with tankers, barges, pipelines, refineries, production platforms and drilling rigs occurring in many different countries.
The list of oil spills differ. The list from 2009 does not include the BP oil spill. Some lists do not include smaller oil spills. The list from the tanker association includes spills from the transportation of oil, not the exploration, production and refining of crude oil. But all lists show that oil spills have occurred in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and South America. The US has a long history of oil spills as the US is one of the oldest countries producing and transporting crude oil.

Oil spills can have detrimental effects on all four spheres. In the atmosphere, oil spills can release harmful volatile compounds when the oil evaporates. In the biosphere, oil spills can harm marine and terrestrial life through direct contact and ingestion of oil. In the hydrosphere, oil spills can contaminate water bodies, affecting aquatic ecosystems and water quality. In the lithosphere, oil spills can result in soil contamination, impacting plant growth and overall ecosystem health.

oil spill is when a boat or something else spills oil in the water or in the forests.
a lot of oil spills happen when people drill for oil or when there's a leak somewhere they keep oil.1 answer
The number is not known or at least not published. The total number is spills from oil oil platforms is known and accounts for a very small percentage of all oil dumped or leaked into our waters.
The number of spills is known:
The Gulf of Mexico (267 spills)
The northeastern U.S. (140 spills)
The Mediterranean Sea (127 spills)
The Persian Gulf (108 spills)
The North Sea (75 spills)
Japan (60 spills)
Baltic Sea (52 spills)
United Kingdom and English Channel (49 spills)
Malaysia and Singapore (39 spills)
The west coast of France and north and west coasts of Spain (33 spills)
Korea (32 spills)
The vast bulk are shallow spills and very few leak much oil. There are certainly exceptions but shallow oil drilling gives us far easier solutions to the situations then deep water does.
The vast bulk of oil spilled into our waters is from permanent fixtures and sites. Pipelines are one example.
