Oil Leaking from Wellhead in Louisiana Waterway
Editor's summary:
United States — A barge collided with an "orphaned" oil wellhead in Louisiana's Bayou St. Denis near the Barataria Waterway Tuesday morning. The accident has left oil and natural gas leaking into the water. In a statement today (7/28), the U.S. Coast Guard said a sheen is covering more than six-square miles.
From The Times-Picayune:
"The company contracted to cap and plug the damaged well is on site and preparing to begin work, said Deano Bonano, Jefferson Parish director of homeland security."
