"The company reported there were seven active wells on the platform and one caught fire, but all are now shut in. Mariner also reported the platform produced an average of 1,400 barrels of oil per day, as well as 1,800 barrels of natural gas each day.
Mariner says stored barrels were the ones that caught fire and that dispersants are on standby if needed."
