Guys.
Being a safety consultant with over 20 yrs. experience.. I'm in 8,000 ' of Deep Blu as we speak... That 3' line had hydrocarbons in it... Why on earth would any one cut into a line with a CUTTING torch on a line that WOULD NOT blinded, double blocked, and bled..
Or flushed with water and then purged with Nitrogen... Common sense will tell you the line lead from or to some type of holdiing or storage tank whic will have some type of residue....
Hope some one wasn't in a hurry..
Black Elk probably don't conduct All work under a COW and permit to work system.. Like most majors do..
It's a dang shame. Yes your right about Immigrant workers .. But most understand a little english... This stuff GIVE EVERYONE A BLACK EYE....That works in the GoM. The sad thing is it's all preventable...
