A larger BP platform than the Deepwater Horizon has lawmakers urging it be shut down to make sure it is safe.
19 lawmakers signed a letter on February 24—two months before the Deepwater Horizon disaster—urging the Minerals Management Service to investigate Atlantis because of claims that BP was operating the rig without up to date engineering documents.
Experts say an accident with Atlantis has the potential to be significantly more severe than the Deepwater Horizon events.
Atlantis, located 150 miles south of New Orleans, pumps up to 200,000 barrels of oil per day, or 13 percent of total U.S. Gulf oil output. Described as “one of the most complex deepwater platforms in the world,” it is one of the two largest platforms in the Gulf.
