Off the coast of Louisiana, a natural gas and water leak is causing havoc just 75 milies from shore.

The Federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (FBSEE) was contacted, according to Jonathan Lally, spokesman for the US Coast Guard (USCG).

Lally, said: “It is actively leaking natural gas, [and] all workers had been safely evacuated and none were injured.”

This leak originated, as reports state, from a well at a platform producing oil and gas. The crew placed a temporary plug into the leak.

The USCG reported that the leak would be stopped as soon as possible; and that “approximately six barrels of light condensate have been discharged in the last 24 hours, based upon the four mile wide by three quarter mile long sheen.”
