Hey /////,show me where Katrina sunk dozens of oil rigs - Sure..! http://sify.com/news/international/f...hp?id=13929961 20 oil rigs missing in Gulf of Mexico By Jitendra Joshi in Washington Thursday, 01 September , 2005, 09:27 At least 20 oil rigs and platforms are missing in the Gulf of Mexico and a ruptured gas pipeline is on fire after Hurricane Katrina tore through the region, a US Coast Guard official said on Wednesday. "We have confirmed at least 20 rigs or platforms missing, either sunk or adrift, and one confirmed fire where a rig was," Petty Officer Robert Reed of the Louisiana Coast Guard told AFP.

Meanwhile, Shell Oil (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research), BP (BP.L: Quote, Profile, Research) and Marathon (MRO.N: Quote, Profile, Research) all reported major damage to offshore installations. On the coast, five of the eight refineries completely shut by Katrina remained out of service Thursday and the Department of Energy said four of them -- accounting for 5 percent of U.S. refining capacity -- could remain shut for months. |
