Two Workers, Allegedly Maritime, Died in an Incident Aboard Shell’s Auger Platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

According to Reuters, the incident occurred on Sunday morning (6/30) during a test related to “lifeboat launch and recovery capability” on the deep-water Auger platform.
Offshore Energy Today reached out to Shell and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), seeking confirmation of the report and more information.

The BSEE was designated by the U.S. Coast Guard as the leading federal agency. The U.S. Coast Guard has not yet responded to Offshore Energy Today’s request for comments.

The Accident Site

Regarding the Auger platform, in 1994, it was the world’s first “Tension Leg” platform, operating in the Gulf of Mexico, anchored to the seabed at 830 meters (2,720 feet) of water depth.

The platform’s lifespan was extended when, in 2014, it began producing energy from the neighboring Cardamom field.
Shell is an Anglo-Dutch multinational oil company, primarily engaged in oil refining and natural gas extraction.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Soybeans plummet in Chicago with favorable weather in the United States, and Brazilian producers hold off sales due to price pressure and lack of market response.

Anvisa suspends batch of Crystal water after detecting bacteria in official analysis and warns consumers in four states not to consume the product.

New factory arrives in Bahia with an investment of R$ 30 million: a jerky unit with a planned capacity of 90,000 kg per day is expected to create 300 direct jobs and strengthen Feira de Santana as a new hub for the food industry.

The world’s largest lithium mine begins operations this month in Congo and promises to produce 130,000 tons per year of the metal that drives the battery era.
