You probably heard it but all 13 on the rig were off and just one
injured. There seems to be some confusion among the news media but it
is maybe a gas rig not for oil. It is in 240 feet of water and not a
floating rig. TIAFN

Also most all gas well produce oil along with other materials. At best it
comes out of the ground in a mist then piped of to a gravity separator
tank where the mist settles in the bottom and the gas goes out the top.
The tank has a dump valve that moves the condensed liquids out when the
level in the separator reaches a set limit.

According to CNN, it's in 2,500' of water and several miles offshore.
There's also an oil slick 1 milex100' at last report.

The platform is in about 340 feet of water and about 100 miles south
of Louisiana's Vermilion Bay. Its location is considered shallow
water, much less than the approximately 5,000 feet where BP's well
spewed oil and gas for three months after the April rig explosion.

That's because the Crap News Network as well as many others make up whatever
they think will attract viewers, before they ever know any facts.

there's no oil slick either according to latest reports.

Well good I had my fingers crossed this wasn't going to turn
into another fiasco. Especially when they are still working
on the Macando site. It's far from being over if you still
follow the ROV videos. There's some **** leaking down there
on or around the BOP that they have been monitoring. And one
meter on a manifold on the BOP still said 4000 PSI. If that's
pressure from the well head the well has not been killed yet.

Nonsence. CNN *showed* it. From a helicopter one would guess.
