A Gulf of Mexico natural gas pipe line that feeds a main supply point in Louisiana remained shut-in on Sunday following an accident that killed a contractor the day before,Chevron Pipe Line (CPL) said.
A contractor died and two other workers suffered minor injuries while performing routine maintenance on the pipe line on Saturday.
CPL spokesman Gareth Johnstone told Reuters on Saturday the accident was under investigation.
“CPL regrets this tragic accident,” Johnstone said in a written statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the contractor’s family and friends.”
Johnstone said the incident caused a small amount of natural gas condensate to be released into the water but that it dissipated and containtment crews were en route to the scene.
The closed gas pipe line is part of the Henry Hub natural gas hub, the benchmark supply point in the state.
On Sunday, Reuters cited a statement from CPL which said the company was continuing to de-pressurise the natural gas gathering line offshore Louisiana to allow the safe repair of the site.
The company did not say for how long the pipe line would be shut-in.
