I’m hearing things from my O&G friends but only rumors at this point….possibly Mars or Olympus.

Can anyone in the know confirm?

Confirmed. Riser broke. BOP failed and the kraken is clawing its way out of the sea floor at this very moment.

People will say yes they heard it and it was confirmed

People will say no, it’s for sure not

You won’t get solid confirmation you can trust one way or another tonight… so?

Power and comms still connected. This is a media rumor.

I just posted this in another thread on this subject.

I just came across this thread. 100% false. I deal with the Mars platform and know some folks in Houston pretty high up. Direct from a guy at Shell at 1:34 today:

"Hey. This is a false rumor. We have power and coms at Olympus and Mars. Also confirmed power at Ursa. This is a malicious rumor and nothing more.

Every news source that has reported it has been deleted that I’ve seen.

Good to hear. I searched if a thread was already made on the subject and didn’t find anything.

A major platform going down wouldn’t be good for some of my friends who work for service companies.

BIL just texted me and told me it’s true. He’s a mechanic sub contractor and works offshore. He’s home in madisonville now and heard it from his boss.

I already did confirm it is not true direct from Shell at 1:34 today. The guy is a subsea project manager so he is in upper management. Not only did he say it wasn't true he said they had power and coms on Mars and Olympus.

Exactly response we’d expect from a suit.

It’s 100% false that the Shell platform is loose.

I watched Deep Water Horizon and can confirm. We need to hear from Marky Marks equivalent.

As someone said the previous reports are no longer available so they were basically retracted. Typical media nowadays. Got to be first without confirming anything at all with Shell.
