Several offshore oil rigs and platforms sustained serious damage during the hurricane. ChevronTexaco lost two rigs and platforms with more expected to be found. Shell's rig slammed into a production compressor on a TLP, damaging both severely. The Deepwater Nautilus rig was found drifting 85 miles from its location with damage. The Diamond America rig lost 11 anchors and had its riser damaged. Murphy's Spar platform Medusa was found with the rig skidded to a different area, and the full damages are unknown. Dominion's Spar platform Devils Tower dropped its rig overboard, but it is unclear if it sank or is still attached. Another Dominion rig without a derrick is completely missing. More

4. ChevronTexaco - 2 rigs damaged, lost 2 platforms, more expected to be found. Shell - Ram/Powell A-9 well location put them in the eye of the storm with our tools in the hole below a storm packer. This is a TLP and the rig slammed into the production compressor causing major damage to the rig and TLP. Shearing the BOP stack in half when the rig moved over. 2 -3 weeks before going back to work. Runs 2 & 3 will be returning next week. The “Deepwater Nautilus” was found some 85 miles off of location. Damage to rig & riser. The Diamond “America” for Mariner was found drifting off location with 11 less anchors and only 1 left in tack with cable. The rig now will have to go to the ship yard to get re-spooled with anchor line. Murphy – The Spar “Medusa” had the Nabors 141 rig on it and was found skidded onto another part on the rig other than where it was left, the extent of damages has not yet been determined. Dominion – The Spar “Devils Tower” leaned over and dropped its rig over board, not fully confirmed if it’s on the bottom of the gulf or hanging onto the Spar. Another Dominion rig had a standard derrick and therefore it couldn’t be laid down, it now is missing completely. More to come as I get it! Never under estimate MOTHER NATURE
