A natural gas well located approximately 50 miles east of Venice in the
Gulf of Mexico is releasing gas uncontrolled and has been evacuated,
according to a report today in Fuel Fix,
an energy news website operated in part by the Houston Chronicle. The
site reports 15 workers were evacuated from the Ensco 87 rig, which sits
in 218 feet of water, after tests found natural gas had migrated from
the 8300-foot well to a sand formation approximately 1100 feet below the
seabed. This uncontrolled flow happened after a blowout preventer had
been activated.
