   1. At 2000 CST on 07MAY12, USCG Sector New Orleans contacted NOAA SSC about a pipeline release of LA sweet crude oil that occurred at 0800 the same day. The situation has stabilized and the pipeline is secure. USCG has been on scene and an OSRO has been hired by the RP. Overflight occurred at 1430 CST today and spotted a 10mi sheen moving NW along the coast. USCG has request a trajectory for sheen position at daylight tomorrow.

   28nmi SE of west side ofMiss R. Delta, LA.
   1. At 1530CDT USCG MSU Morgan City contacted the New Orleans SSC to request NOAA support in locating the likely source of a light sheen observed from a platform in lease block West Delta 117. Sheen was described as barely visible and 15% coverage, about 2 miles wide by at least 7 miles long (from the platform) but a helo pilot from the rig indicated it extended all the way to the shoreline near Venice, LA. NOAA ERD is providing oceanographer-modeling support to the CG.

   Gulf of Mexico south of Miss R. (LA).
   1. At 1430CDT the NOAA SSC for District 8 was called by MSU Morgan City to request a trajectory forecast for a potential spill if a burning tank on a platform in the Gulf should release its contents into the Gulf. Contents of the tank are approximately 50BBL (2100gal) of south LA crude oil condensate. Tank is a possible slop tank (which would contain an mixture of various waste oils, rather than the crude condensate.) Additional information below is from the USCG message to the SSC: • Reported at 1254 by Energy XXI • 7 persons on board (all evacuated) 1 minor injury reported at this time (1345 29MAY12) of 1st to 2nd degree burns on the employees forearms. Employee is in transit to Terrebone General for treatment. • Facility is shut in and fire is contained to the open top tank for the time being. Location of facility is N 28° 39.7 W 089° 24.5 • Tank dimensions are 8 x 10 foot, capacity of [...]
