platform produce gas not oil Talos Energy expects to soon shut in a well which is leaking gas and concensat e in the Gulf of Mexico following a well control incident. The Houston-based owner of Energy Resources Technology (ERT), which reported the Tuesday morning incident in Ship Shoal Block 225 Platform B, said late on Tuesday evening local time that it expects the well to be shut in within the next 24 hours. The non-producing B-2 well began leaking gas, condensate and salt water during operations to permanently plug and abandon it, Talos said. "In an abundance of caution, we decided to evacuate the platform and mobilise our spill response team. We notified the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and the US Coast Guard (USCG), and we shut-in two other producing wells at the platform. "All five personnel on the platform were evacuated safely. "We are currently taking all available action to shut the well in as soon as possible, including engaging Wild Well Control who has returned to the platform to commence well control operations. "We expect that the well will be shut in within the next 24 hours." An earlier joint statement from the USCG and BSEE had pointed to "a rainbow sheen visible on the surface estimated to be more than four miles wide by three quarters of a mile long". Talos said it anticipates that the sheen will evaoprate quickly. "Because the well is flowing mostly water at very low pressure, we believe that approximately six barrels of light condensate have been discharged in the last 24 hours," the company continued. Talos said the well is an older gas condensate well in a field developed in the 1970’s that last produced mostly water in 1998 at a rate of 65 thousand cubic feet of gas per day, 9 barrels of condensate per day and 1,150 barrels of water per day. "We were plugging and abandoning the well as part of our active idle iron removal program in coordination with the BSEE, and we believe that the age of the tubing may have contributed to the incident." In February Talos Energy completed a $620 million acquisition of ERT from Helix Energy Solutions.
