Bud's Offshore Energy (BOE)

A NOAA report indicates the following (not good):

1. Rig is listing 15 degrees
2. Most of the oil is burning but there is a slick approximately 2 miles in length. Updated NOAA trajectory analyses suggest that the Northern GOM coast would be at risk, but that it would take more than three days for oil to threaten the shorelines.  Weather and current forecast and could of course change.
3. Initial attempts to actuate BOPE with the ROV failed.
4. A strengthening of winds and seas is predicted by Friday evening. Such weather would put even greater stress of both the vessel and the riser.
