Shell Reports Drilling Mud Spill in Gulf of Mexico

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Shell International reported an accidental spill of nearly 5,000 gallons of drilling mud into the Gulf of Mexico on July 31.  This is way out there in a cluster of deepwater fields known as the Perdido project, in water more than 7,800′ deep about 150 miles off the Texas coast (195 workers were evacuated from the project last week when tropical storm Don rumbled through):

Perdido is an awesome development project. Production from several separate fields in the region will be tied into a single, massive floating spar. Be sure to check out the jaw-dropping promotional video

And yes, “perdido” is indeed Spanish for “lost.”  AtlantisMacondo? Maybe it’s not wise to tempt fate…

      I’m so impressed! These guys can do this, but can’t control their leaks. Nor can they come out of production with a cheaper gasoline. Go figure. I guess we will forever be paying for research and development. Thanks, man! It won’t get any better than this!
