[quote:Anonymous Coward 961549:MV8xMDU2NTkwXzE2NzcwNTU4X0E2QTAzMkI4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 950567] And these are just the big boys: http://oilandgasinternational.com/directories/hse.aspx There are so many that occur on land rigs, offshore rigs and in refineries they don't even get reported. And reporting a gas leak on a rig (as was the Boca Chica incident) or in a refinery is a momentary blip on the screen in TX and coastal LA unless it caused some damage...and then based on the amount of damage, the report is typically local. Example: The U.S. Minerals and Management Service documented more than [b]1,400 offshore oil drilling accidents[/b] between 2001 and 2007. I don't have the time to conduct your due diligence. Educate yourself...or not and continue to present as an uninformed arse [/quote] accidents or explosions? [/quote]
Original Message
An oil rig on Boca Chica beach is reportedly on fire. Boca Chica Beach is just north of the mouth of the Rio Grande, near Brownsville. This is hundreds of miles from the oil refinery fire in San Antonio.
