| An ??out-of-control ? well that began blowing gas into the air on Thursday was still not under control as of Friday morning. 42 non-essential workers from Rowan Companies PLC ??s offshore rig in the Gulf of Mexico, named ??Louisiana, ? were evacuated, while 37 stayed on the rig to try and stop the flow of gas. Rig operator EnVen Energy Ventures said that while workers attempt to kill the well, gas was being ??vented ? off of the rig. Although gas, water and sand are still flowing from the well, EnVen said no pollution has occurred in the Gulf. |
