Energy Partners Reopens Louisiana Oil Well After Pipeline Leak

Dow Jones News
Independent gas and oil exploration and production company
Energy Partners Ltd. (EPL) said Friday it reopened an oil well off
the Louisiana shore after shutting it in because of a small oil
pipeline leak.
Energy Partners reopened the well in South Pass Block 11 around
10 p.m. EST Thursday after repairing a six-inch transfer pipeline
leak that forced the company to shut the well earlier that
afternoon. The leak resulted in oil discharging into a landlocked
marsh, according to a filing with the National Response Center.
Rig and platform problems have drawn more scrutiny after the
April explosion at Transocean Ltd.'s (RIG) Deepwater Horizon oil
rig that was leased to BP PLC (BP, BP.LN). The blast killed 11
people and leaked nearly 5 million barrels of oil in the Gulf of
Mexico.
