There's a Discovery Channel program on all about the repair work on the Gulf platforms. Man, some of those were messed up!

Seriously-- we had photos the next day. Companies like Chevron had evacuated all Gulf personnel

In addition, some important support facilities like Port Fourchon, got pretty trashed. Most of the supplies / parts, etc are ferried out to the rigs from there, and they just got fully back up an running last week. This probably didn't ever appear on the evening news.

That occurred to me, but the media seemed to hype the refinery closings and completely disregard the upstream production closing. For that reason I'd assumed that the platforms managed to keep drilling.

Nope--- a storm like that-- they evacuate the platforms and usually cease both drilling and production (to prevent a major spill). There might be exceptions but I tend to think that would be the general procedure

I don't really know the location of the major drilling fields in the Gulf. I had no clue if they were even near the storm's path.

Not to be too simplistic but my recollection is that the Gulf has drilling pretty much EVERYWHERE ( except the protected coastal areas like Florida)

Lets do it again


I think I had Kaak convinced . He couldn't dispute any of my points


AS for kidicious, I hope he never goes into business. I can see him in bankruptcy court with a dazed look saying " But it was a sure thing . . . Some other folks that were in the business 30 years made an 18% rate of return one year

Only because I had a rare bit of work to do at that particular point in time
