Fieldwood Grand Chenier (Quarter North); Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Cameron Parish, Louisiana. 1. During Hurricane Laura (08/25/20), an estimated 2,400 barrels of crude oil condensate was discharged from a storage tank at the Fieldwood Grand Chenier separation facility, breached the containment area, and contaminated the surrounding marsh. The RP recovered much of the oil in the containment area and was working on the surrounding marsh when operations were suspended due to the arrival of Tropical Storm Beta (09/19/20). In February of 2022, MSU Lake Charles contacted NOAA SSC for input on the feasibility of an in-situ burn (ISB) to address the residual contamination. The ISB is tentatively scheduled for late April, pending RRT concurrence. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: CRUDE CONDENSATE (API >45. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 100800 GALLONS. TAGS: HURRICANE. 3.
