O&G wells still seeping after 13 years

In a court filing Dec. 15, federal regulators cited recent scientific surveys that reveal two plumes of oil and gas are still flowing from a 13-year-old toppled offshore platform buried among a cluster of wells owned by New Orleans-based Taylor Energy Corp. Hurricane Ivan, in 2004, caused an underwater mudslide that toppled the platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The federal government waited until the summer of 2016 to begin its investigation.
