VR-287 Gone Forever
 

Well, VR 287 was removed today. Another fishing hole lost forever in the GOM.

are they leaving the bottom half of it?

More than likely they will go down and cut that too.

VR 284 was a good spot but was knocked down for Rita

Just got the evening report and they will be finished cutting the 4 pile beliw mudline by morning.

I use to test the gas sales meter there. Only platform I had seen with the well heads in the legs.

Was that for Petroquest?

Yep

Had that place on one of my loops for a few hitches after they unmanned it waiting for pipeline repairs. Couldn't recognize it from the pics, but the wells in the legs was a giveaway.

Who's doing the removal work?

Are they cutting them off? Not blowing them up?

Guess if its going to happen, that cutting them kills less fish bout the only good thing I can think of:(

Just doesn't make any sense... These things should be cut off 20-30 ft below surface (whatever makes the most sense from a safety standpoint, then have a marker placed there so shrimp boats know there is something there...

And they should then be allowed to remain as valuable reefs..

Yea but that makes too much sense.

Bisso is contractor. I got management/consulting.

Anything that makes sense does not happen when the gobment is involved. We are jetting down 20' below mudline and cutting for removal. 3 of 4 have been cut as of 7pm tonight. It will be on a deck tomorrow.

Dang triple F... how many jobs do you have?

I've got 2.
One that pays the bills, and one that has my heart.

Was that wives, or jobs?

I think this may be the first time I've ever seen you post something not scientific! Did you smoke some of that illegal plant?!:spineyes::rotfl:

No wacky toebacky here. Age and life's hard knocks may have dampened my sense of humor a bit, but occasionally I still take a swing at a hanging curve.
