A quick google says E. Cameron was a production platform, so it would not have been a ‘blow out’. Sounds like this one today was a production platform as well. Did they ever find out what caused the E. Cameron 2 fire? I don’t know of any production blow outs and oil leaks in the gulf other than the BP one this past spring. If you know of one, please provide the link for the record. I think it’s important to understand the true facts.
The rig -- Vermilion Oil Rig 380 -- is an oil and gas production rig located in 340 feet of water in South Timbalier Block 316, according to company records. The well was not producing any "product" at the time of the accident, Colclough said.
