Im a part owner in a wholesale production chemical company in Rayne not named ESP, Premier or Baze. Been working on projects for Clariant, Nalco and XChem for 10 years. We more than likely know the same people. FYI, the majority owner used to be one of the owners of Benchmark.

The platform, about 1 1/2 miles northwest of Kenner's Williams Boulevard boat launch, serves three oil wells and one natural gas well. It exploded Sunday night while eight workers were on it. "Routine maintenance was being conducted on the platform and the flow lines that feed it, specifically cleaning of paraffin from flow lines using steam," the structure's owner, Clovelly Oil Co., said on its Facebook page. "Lines from 2 wells had been successfully cleaned and personnel were in the process of cleaning the third (of 3) when the incident occurred. The 3 oil wells were shut in before the cleaning. Clovelly also operated a fourth gas well, which was also shut in immediately after the explosion." 5
