Possible Tropical Depression
 
The low down by Cuba has a 80% chance of forming a tropical depression in the next 48 hours. Some of the models have it going into the Texas coast or as far east as SW La. on Friday to Saturday. Currently it is shown as a tropical storm on landfall.

I just got word we are evacuating WC 587, which is a P&A job so it is not that big of a deal on the production side. We do have lots of vessels and divers there, so we are shutting them down till we get it out of our way, just to be on the safe side.

Question.....isn't this kinda "knee jerk"? Theyre having a hard time even calling it a low pressure system

I'd call that putting safety ahead of production. I've been stuck offshore a few times too many due to "wait and see". Friday may be unflyable due to weather conditions. Besides, they are non essential.

Ok. Was just wondering. Since all the big ones 4 and 5yrs back, folks tend to overcompensate.

This is a P&A job!!!!! Why would we want our crews getting absolutely nothing done on the clock, except trying to keep them from passing out from dehydration due to seasickness. Get them in, let it pass, then send them back out. The platform has been shut in for 5 months, not like the oil company is missing any revenue.

Good for your business.... cause once a rain drop hits the windshield everybody forgets how to drive!!!

Finfeatherfur 07-27-2011 11:41 AM

All I know is, if this thing continues like it is scheduled, we will have some very, very happy people in Texas! My boss is jumping for joy right now - he has a lease outside of Laredo.

Dink 07-27-2011 11:43 AM

BRyan, this thing popped up over night. If it got bad through the day, how fast can they get the gulf evacuated??

Do they shut down the pumping or leave a small crew? Always wondered how it works

eman 07-27-2011 11:47 AM

Overnight???
I been watching it for 5 days.
Just looked at the radar and looks like ev1 from laffy. to houston is gettin some more rain. Sunny and hot here
