A Hilcorp Energy pipeline is the source of a spill of 4,200 gallons of crude oil near Lake Grande Ecaille, part of Barataria Bay and about 8 miles west of Empire, the U.S. Coast Guard reported Tuesday (July 26).
Officials with Houston-based Hilcorp told the Coast Guard the abandoned flow line was secured Monday after the spill was discovered.
Officials said about 8 square miles, including a patch of wetlands, was affected by the spill. A spill response contractor Monday deployed long booms to contain part of the spilled oil that was seen around a platform in the area.
"Environmental Safety and Health, an oil spill response organization, has been contracted by Hilcorp Energy to conduct clean-up operations," said a Coast Guard news release.
The Coast Guard, NOAA, the Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinators Office and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries also were overseeing the response to the spill.
The Coast Guard's Air Station New Orleans has dispatched air crews to conduct aerial assessments of the site and surrounding areas, the news release said. The cause of the incident is under investigation.
Hey Jonathan,Do you have the lat/long for this platform?

Scott,
I'm in D.C. for Sierra Club training this week. I'll be back in town for Saturday so I can speak at Greens Convention. Hope to see you there!
