News is preliminary, no idea yet whether it is a production well or not, but all 13 crew members on the Mariner Energy rig are accounted for. The Journal’s story here (which presumably will be updated); Bloomberg’s here.

Yves — what I have heard is this is a production platform (not a rig) under maintenance. All wells were shut in.
I was up all night working on a video about the first oil spill and woke up this morning to this news.
I would love your help spreading the word on this important community effort video.

The oil drilling industries need to be regulated with rules, regulations and laws to safeguard the interest of the workers, public and marine lives.
wouldn’t you just know that the rig operator’s largest single shareholder was john paulson?
i wonder if he found a way to short it before it blew?
