You Lousiana boys can't catch a break this year...



Copied from the Houston Chronicle...

NEW ORLEANS — Oil leaked Tuesday from a damaged well on a waterway north of a bay where officials have been fighting the spill from the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Coast Guard said the tow boat Pere Ana C. struck the wellhead near Mud Lake early Tuesday. The boat was moved to LaRose after the incident. No injuries were reported.

The Coast Guard did not know who owns the well or how much oil had leaked. However, a sheen was spotted in the lake. Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts said oil was spewing from the wellhead.

Lt. Brian Sattler said a helicopter was dispatched to survey the area, which is accessible only by boat.

Sattler said state and federal agencies were alerted and authorities were in the process of hiring someone to stop the leak.

Mud Lake is part of a network of bayous and lakes north of Barataria Bay, an ecologically sensitive coastal estuary where authorities have been fighting waves of oil from the Deepwater Horizon accident.

Dang,

Well maybe they can test the multi-corp "response group" that they talked
about forming up for such accidents and clean-ups.....

This happens a lot more than you would think. They are just making a big deal about it because of all the stuff with BP

Maybe Tony Hayward can swing by and dump his boat trash on it, plus any golf balls he might have leftover.



Sorry you guys are going through this.

What nobody will blame it on Bush or Obama?

got called to fly over it first thing this mornin, on our way out. it's near one of our 30" crude lines and they thought it was ours at first. lol

The leak is mostly gas with some light crude spraying about 30' in the air.
