I have watched more charter boats kill red snapper here in the gulf than any platform removal. The 1st year it went to 2 snapper per person , I watched and took picture (made a post on here) of them kill about a hundred snapper that floated off. I saw this many of times and still see it today! When a platform is placed In the Gulf , no where does it state that it is a fish habitat . Once it has ran its time it will be removed ! This video is a rare case because we just removed 6 platforms and very few fish were harmed less than 20.

W the oil companies want to leave the rigs up not take them down. It is much cheaper to abandon a rig (and even keep it compliant from a safety standpoint) than it is to decommission one.

If you do not flow a platform for a certain # of years you have to remove it and 80% of oil companies agree and want to have removed #1 cost money with no income #2 have to visit so many days a week (on contract ) #3 have to do monthly compliance and Coast Guard #4 if government finds any thing out of compliance can cost hefty fines in lump sum or each day!

As far as ocean life is concerned that is no vaild argument to be made that would support taking down the rigs, the rigs are a valuable reef resource in the gulf and taking down the rigs the way they are being taken down wihtout a doubt kills oceanic lifeforms. As is always the case, when a subject comes up that in some small way crosses something that you do, you immediatley jump on the side that you think benefits you, however in this argument big oil and conservationist (not the ones that live in Washington) are on the same page, rig removal is not good for either party. |

And like I said (find my old post with Picks) I have saw more charter boats kill snapper than from a platform removal !!!
So In real world you should only keep 1st two snapper you catch (no size limit.) this would save hundreds of snapper from floating off and becoming shark and pelican meals

This is a meeting of CEO's, CFO's and CAO's (chief accounting officers) from the top 100 oil companies in the world, not a group of people that don't know what is really going on. This is not a college classroom platform. Not that you would know what goes on in a college classrom, I am just saying.... |

Bottom line is Oil Companies have agreement and lease ! You place platform at your cost and remove platform at your cost!
If you have an old house that is falling down, do you not tear it down because a owl and sparrows made a nest and home??

The government might not have intended for rigs to be removed in the manner that they are when the current rules are setup but oil companies with a duty of best interest to their shareholders have found the most cost effective manner (you can't blame them for that) and it may be more catastrophic to the environment than the government had ever planned for. That generally happens when a government over regulates something. [/SIZE] |

In perfect world case !!! One removal we just did cost about 2.3 mill Work needed cost about 1.8 mill When a well is made you have money allocated for removal of that platform, a abandon platform is sitting in saltwater !! Now if you had a 2 pile structure that would cost 10mill to remove it could be worth the delay, but when ot starts rusting up the repair damage will cost in the millions also! The platform on that vid cost about 500,000 in PNA and about 1.5 to remove , which money has already been allocated for that!
