The BP oil spill disaster will continue to affect local economies around the Gulf of Mexico for many years, and also the environment will require decades of recovery. Now the Associated Press reports that New Orleans is back in the thick of an oil slick thanks to an errant tow boat called the Pere Ana C. The Louisiana marshland was hit and there was a wellhead in head. Oil is currently shooting 20 feet to the air, Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser told MSNBC.
Well located south of New Orleans
65 miles south of New Orleans you can discover the well which is along the border between Plaquemines Parish and Jefferson Parish. You can’t get to this place on roads. Workers for the recovery were stationed in Barataria Bay already moving oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The owner of the newly damaged well is presently unknown. However, as outlined by Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts, the amount of oil gushing out from the Pere Ana C. collision is considerable. Since you can only get to the area on a boat, not much is known about the recovery or how much is leaking. There is a concern that natural gas could be leaking with the oil since some gas clouds are reported within the area recently.
Pere Ana C. was close to Mud Lake
Mud Lake was the approximate location of the Pere Ana C. collision early Tuesday morning. The Coast Guard ship went to the LaRose area after this happened. Right now, we have heard of no injuries. Authorities are trying to discover somebody that is responsible to clean up all of this oil that is causing disaster. Hopefully cleaning up this won’t cost nearly as much as Deepwater Horizon cost BP.
