If you do attempt to cut through turn your gps an VHF radio off an make a run for it.

And they have pipes submerged just below the surface running from the anchor buoys back to the rig to offload the oil. I'm sure the LOOP responder would get to you before you hit one he's got a pretty sick water monitor to spray you down with to.
