Phoenix Well Blowout; Belle Pass, Iberia Parish, LA. Belle Pass, Iberia Parish, LA. 1. NOAA received notification of a well blowout near Belle Pass approximately 15 miles SW of Patterson, LA from both the Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's Office (LOSCO) and USCG MSU Morgan City. It was reported that a kickback of natural gas occurred resulting in a well blowout. Initial reports stated that the well was discharging an unknown amount of natural gas and condensate. Some estimates suggest that approximately 50 barrels of condensate were discharge at the time or shortly after the kickback. At this time, the well has not ignited. 2. THREAT: OIL.
