The well is within the state of Louisiana's jurisdiction. The problem has been created over the last 10 years or so. This has nothing to do with trump.

Do your own test. Get a cup of oil and go pour it in your yard in one spot. Temporarily, the grass will brown because the coating of oil blocks it's natural process. But when it comes back, that spot will be thicker and greener and grow faster than the rest of your yard.

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.

Hilcorp has a gas line that's been leaking in Cook Inlet for months.

In all seriousness, it amazes me that people don't care enough about the environment. That attitude is simply shortsighted and naive.
Everyone cares about the environment. Just to different degrees.

I went to school with his kid. Perhaps they should've withheld those 100k bonuses to everyone to subsidize the cleanup.

your right, frick all those employees who worked hard, made the company profitable, and earned their bonus but have nothing to do with how the company handles its assets. They shouldn't get shite.

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.

Who was the original owner of that well and who did the P&A on it?
It's all public information.

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.

Cheap p N A program. Works every time. Even if it's ok with the state. Still look at what you are doing. Just cement the whole hole up. Not that much $$.
Sad part it's the shitty cement program when they cased it
Punch holes and pump cement
