More than 1,400 oil wells were in Laura's path, but spills and other damage may not be known for days
“I have a lump in my throat thinking about them,” said Bob Bea, a specialist in catastrophic risk management and former well manager for Shell. “I’m not at all confident these systems will, when hit with a severe hurricane, function adequately.”
Interesting article about the possible negative environmental damage from Hurricane Laura. I don't know why the State doesn't make the oil and gas industry update their equipment, some of the rigs are many decades oil that can easily break apart from a storm causing oil leaks all over the wetlands. And as we all know these spills are hard to clean up in the marshes and swamps. The oil industry gets away with so much, sad to see. And nature is the one the pays the price.....

I can't see how anyone would think that the rig in the picture shouldn't be pulled up
Just the people paying to have pulled up, lol
I wonder what the week in the markets will bring....
More of the same....
Judging by the picture that looks like a tough place to work
It is, believe me, lol
