Shell oil spill

Post by Fraser921 »

Shell has shut-in operations at the Mars, Ursa and Olympus Platforms in the Gulf of Mexico after a pipeline leak was discovered. The combined platforms can produce 420 Mbbl/d in crude oil, and there is no estimate for a resumption of service.

This has shut down the Mars and Amberjack crude oil pipelines due to the leak found at the Fourchon Booster Station that helps boost pressure for flows into Clovelly, LA, storage assets. Reuters reported that Fourchon Harbor Police Chief Michael Kinler said there was no sign of vandalism at the booster station and the amount of oil that leaked was not enough to halt traffic on the waterway or roads. We have seen reports that only 1-2 barrels of oil were spilled.

Will someone pull a nutty over 2 bbl? Stay tuned
