Kab 101 is a Sea Pony-type minimum-facilities light-production oil platform operated by Mexican state-owned oil company PEMEX, and installed about off the coast of Tabasco, near the port of Dos Bocas, in 1994. The platform was designed by British engineering firm SLP Engineering Limited. The platform also produces the wells Kab 103 and Kab 121. This platform was the site of the accident which eventually led to the death of 22 workers. Pemex would contract two independent studies and one by itself and in an exercise of transparency, post the reports on its website.〔(Seguimiento plataforma Usumacinta ) 〕 On October 31, 2008, PEMEX released the result of the independent studies of the accident.〔(PEMEX da a conocer los resultados de la investigación interna sobre el accidente en la plataforma Usumacinta, en el Golfo de México ) 〕 ==Usumacinta accident timeline== October 21, 2007: The Jackup rig ''Usumacinta'' is moved to the location of Kab 101 to prepare for work on the well Kab 103. October 23, 2007, 0700: The arrival of Cold Front No. 4 with winds exceeding causes all personnel on the rig to cease operations. 08:00 – 11:00: The Usumacinta begins moving with the seas, because its ballast and anchor points have not been properly set. 11:30: The Usumacinta's auxiliary cover below its cantilever collides with the wellhead Kab 121, which begins leaking oil and gas. 11:40 – 13:55: The crew of the Usumacinta attempts to close the sub-surface storm valves for both Kab 101 and the leaking Kab 121, to prevent further danger to the people on board the platform. This is only temporarily successful at stopping the leak from Kab 121. 15:30: The storm valves on Kab 121 fail and hydrogen sulfide is detected, prompting the order to evacuate the platform. 15:45: All 73 people from the platform were accounted for in the two lifeboats, and were wearing life jackets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kab 101」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
