re: Hilcorp Energy has won yet another environmental award as oil/gas leaking from wellhead

Maybe if they didn't spend $138 Million on bonuses last year they could afford some well maintenance.

Slow leakage over a massive area =/= a quick release in an isolated spot. People need to remember that shite sticks together and floats around together

They had an opening in my field where I met most of the qualifications. I was nervous filling out the online application. Didn't hear anything from 'em.

You need to remember that crude oil is, in many cases, very different than refined oil you put in an engine

Yes, it's much more natural. Kinda the point.

And we have the multiple instances of blatant marsh destruction through illegal dredging and prop washing. That is company policy, not just happenstance. If they know a canal is 3ft deep, and plan to push a barge with a 6ft draft through, that comes from the top.

They applied for the permit 4 days ago

Michael Roberts, president of the Association of Family Fishermen, watches a video of a Hilcorp barge moving through an area leased for oystering. The video was shown at a hearing to gather input on whether the company should be granted an “after the fact” permit for disturbing the water bottom.

Dozens of oystermen and coastal residents spoke out at a public hearing Thursday night, arguing that the state shouldn’t grant an oil and gas company a permit to dredge wetlands around a drilling site near Port Sulfur.

But they can’t stop Hilcorp Energy Co. of Houston from dredging. The company already cut the channel back in January 2016, when it moved a barge to a drilling site.

A fisherman recorded video of the barge churning up mud as several tugboats pushed it into place. The company first denied that it had done any damage, but now it’s applying for an “after the fact” coastal use permit for “unauthorized dredging activity.”

In the Belle Chasse Auditorium, members of the Louisiana Oystermen Association and their lawyers urged the Department of Natural Resources not to grant the permit to a “serial law-breaker,” as a lawyer for the association put it.

“Hilcorp is a bad operator in coastal Louisiana,” said Michael Roberts, president of the Association of Family Fishermen. “They’ve done hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to these people’s [oyster] leases, if not more. It’s time that every future permit for Hilcorp is done with the utmost scrutiny so that they start obeying the law.”

Hilcrap...lol. They are the worst (at least used to be when I had to deal with them). I would never work for them and I rode the Trump train to work this morning.

I work directly involved with well P&A. The number of individuals & companies who have blatant disregard on plugging these wells properly is through the roof. The number of wells that are bubbling throughout the gulf is ridiculous. This has been expedited by the lack of cash flow to fund abandonments properly the past few years.

I do make a living on intervention work when someone has to go fix them though so I can live with it.
