Here's where the 2010 (I notice a typo now in my original post, it's not 2011) comes from:

That includes spills from vessels, facilities, pipelines, and other unknown sources. Regardless, the spill due to Deepwater Horizon was so massive compared to more typical years.

Also, it's 786,987,110 liters (there are ~159 liters in an oil barrel).
