    1. On October 3, 2016, the USCG contacted NOAA regarding a discharge of a reported 1bbl of crude oil in the West Delta. The discharge occurred when the company pressured the line during a scheduled flushing operation to eliminate potential threat from abandoned legacy lines within the company's field. The company deployed 200' absorbent boom containing 0.5BBL of recoverable oil, secured the line and deployed divers to identify and clamp the source. An over-flight was conducted by the company and reported no recoverable oil outside containment. The USCG requested a trajectory model of the discharged oil.
