    Discharge into Marsh from Aboveground Pipeline, Hackberry, LA.
    Hackberry, LA, USA.
    1. On May 9, 2022, Texas Petroleum Investment Company (TPIC) observed a discharge from an aboveground pipeline in a marsh near Hackberry, Louisiana. Approximately 2 barrels of crude oil is estimated to have discharged - some has migrated to Black Lake, and some remains in the marsh vegetation. OSROs are on-scene with containment boom and skimmers. On May 10, MSU Lake Charles contacted NOAA SSC for support in preparing an in-situ burn (ISB) request to submit to RRT-6.

    Two Discharges in Cameron Meadows Marsh Oil Field, Hackberry, LA.
    Hackberry, LA, USA.
    1. In February of 2022, two separate discharges occurred in Apollo Energy's Cameron Marsh oil field. A flow line elbow discharged a reported 5.5 bbls of crude oil. A pipeline discharged a reported 3 bbls of crude oil and 12 bbls of salt water. Recovery of the oil was conducted using boom and sorbent. In June 2022, the marsh was resurveyed and liquid oil remained at both sites. The USCG Marine Safety Unit in Port Arthur, TX, contacted the NOAA SSC for input on further recovery options including in-situ burning.
