The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management says it is looking into an incident on Apache Corporation’s natural gas production platform WC 575A, about 150 miles south of Lake Charles that led to the death of an offshore worker.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, the bureau said. The worker fell into the water, apparently while transferring from a vessel to the platform.
Other crew members were able to get the worker back on the platform, but shortly thereafter he became unresponsive and was subsequently pronounced dead.
