downed in Federal waters by Hurricane Katrina.
As
part of BP's initial hurricane response, over-flights were conducted as
early as September 6, 2005. In addition, an ROV vehicle was mobilized for
inspection of all of BP's downed platforms on October 20, 2005.
The platform will be dismantled by the end of
2007, and the well(s) will be abandoned by the end of 2008. The platform
was shut in prior to the storm and the subsea safety valves held which
limited oil losses to that which was stored on the structure. 242 bbl of
hydrocarbons from the platform topsides were assumed to have been lost
during Hurricane Katrina (some of which may have actually been recovered). It is assumed all topside losses were crude oil (some may have been refined
products).

Remarks:
The Grand
Isle 47 C 8-pile fixed platform was built in 1957 and prior to Katrina were
producing 991 BOPD. Prior to Katrina, there were 16 existing wells connected
to the platform, of which only eight were producing with the remaining being
PA'd. The Grand Isle 47C platform is one of the seven BP operated platforms
downed in Federal waters by Hurricane Katrina.
As
part of BP's initial hurricane response, over-flights were conducted as
early as September 6, 2005. In addition, an ROV vehicle was mobilized for
inspection of all of BP's downed platforms on October 20, 2005.
The platform will be dismantled by the end of
2007, and the well(s) will be abandoned by the end of 2008. The platform
was shut in prior to the storm and the subsea safety valves held which
limited oil losses to that which was stored on the structure. Approximately
195 bbl of hydrocarbons from the platform topsides were assumed to have been
lost during Hurricane Katrina (some of which may have actually been
recovered). It is assumed all topside losses were crude oil (some may have
been refined products). An additional 18.6 bbl in intermittent releases
were reported September through December 2005. This total of 213.6 bbl is
reported in the above 2005 spill volume.
Throughout 2006, there was an additional
loss of approximately 110.6 bbl of crude oil in relatively small
intermittent releases (including releases of less than one barrel which are
reported in the 2006 spill volumes. An additional 21.8 bbl of intermittent
seepage was observed in 2007. In the first quarter of 2008, approximately
48,.2 bbl seepage was observed by early March.
Beginning
May 21, 2006, the frequency and magnitude of the releases increased and BP,
in consultation with the USCG and MMS, developed and implemented additional
response measures to monitor, contain and recover all hydrocarbon releases. Two response vessels were tasked to monitor, contain, and recover all
hydrocarbon releases 24/7 specifically from Gl-47C. In mid-August 2006,
over-flights observed two hydrocarbon releases totaling approximately 37.1
bbl (included in the 2006 spill volume). A much larger, fully staffed and
trained Incident Management Team (IMT) was activated as a precautionary
measure on August 16, 2006 in response to the increasing frequency and
magnitude of hydrocarbon releases. This larger IMT is fully integrated with
BP's Decommissioning and Downed Platform teams. Staffing for these teams has
increased significantly to more than 150 relevant experts. Six vessels were
on site, shallow hazard assessment work was performed in support of relief
well planning (if needed), and a collection dome was constructed. By
December 2006, the collection dome was fully functional and three boats were
on location at all times, weather permitting, and the boats are equipped
with skimming equipment and absorbent booms. By late 2006 or early 2007, BP
had enhanced the instrumentation and installed a boat ramp.
Seepage in 2007 never reached 50 bbl in any
calendar quarter.
As of 2008, decommissioning and abandonment
operations are being performed by Wild Well Control.
Approximately 50.6 bbl seeped between
January 1 and March 31, 2008, some of this was stimulated by activities
related to abandoning the wells.
Seepage was accounted by calendar quarters where
any quarter for which seepage accumulated to at least one barrel has been
included as a spill.
The initial loss during the hurricane was
195 bbl. Subsequent seepage from October 2005 through June 15, 2008 was
213.7 bbl. This was counted as three spills of 50 bbl or more: 195 bbl
during the hurricane, 59 bbl in 3rd Quarter 2006, 50.6 bbl in 1st Quarter
2008.

The damage was determined to have occurred during Hurricane Katrina. The
pipeline was shut in prior to the storm and the subsea safety valve held
which limited oil loss to that contained in the damaged segment. The
pipeline has been plugged and abandoned. The initial estimate of crude oil
lost from the pipeline was 100 to 2,000 bbl. After further investigation,
it was determined that the loss was actually between 600 and 960 bbl. MMS
assumes 960 bbl in spill calculations.

the time of the hurricane, there was approximately 50 bbl of petroleum and
2.6 bbl of chemicals on board, all of which has been assumed to have been
lost (some of which may have actually been recovered).

Remarks:
The West
Delta 94 G 6-pile fixed platform is one of the seven BP operated platforms
downed in Federal waters by Hurricane Katrina.
As
part of BP's initial hurricane response, over-flights were conducted as
early as September 6, 2005. In addition, an ROV vehicle was mobilized for
inspection of all of BP's downed platforms on October 20, 2005. The
platform was shut in prior to the storm and the subsea safety valves held
which limited oil losses to that which was stored on the structure. 307 bbl
of hydrocarbons from the platform topsides were assumed to have been lost
during Hurricane Katrina (some of which may have actually been recovered). It is assumed all topside losses were crude oil (some may have been refined
products).
