PORT
FOURCHON, La. — A dozen miles off the coast, on a rusty, aging
platform, workers in hard hats and overalls spend their days extracting
oil and gas from the ocean floor before retreating at night into tiny
weather-beaten steel cubes that act as dorms.
The
platform, owned by a Houston-based energy company that until recently
was bankrupt, has none of the grandeur — or profits — of the deep-sea
structures over 100 miles offshore that are operated by international
giants like Exxon Mobil and Chevron.
