This was the scene this morning at the very first close rig, south of Bob Hall. Even over the pounding surf (it it was WINDY!!), you could hear the roar of whatever was being off-gassed. Any speculation as to what it may be?

I just got a text alert saying there was a natural gas leak at those Rigs. That's all the alert said

Just got back from refereeing volleyball and when I got out of my truck I was able to hear the release all the way over here in the Bluff

So is the leak at the casing hanger below the master safety valve? I know you will not get any pilot to land on that structure platform with a gas leak for sure. All the platforms I operated had a fusible loop on the boat landing to pull and break and thus shutting in the well. I know it

Laughing I was gonna say, don't light a match or a lighter on Whitecap. Laughing

Natural Gas usually = Methane (+ who knows what). Highly flammable and combustible. Good thing the wind was heavy that day, surprised everyone heard the "roar". Glad everyone stayed safe, though.
