Shell has stood down its emergency response activities over a fire on its Enchilada platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
On Saturday an assessment team confirmed the isolation of the platform from the 30-inch gas export pipeline which was thought to be at the centre of the blaze which broke out last week.
The team also found no presence of ‘uncontained’ hydrocarbons.
The supermajor is in the process of developing a plan for repairing the damaged portions of the asset and re-deploying personnel.
There is no timeline to resume normal operations.
More than 70 people from Shell and the United States Coast Guard worked together to respond to the incident.
Throughout the response, Shell did not observe any signs of oil on the water associated with this incident.
Shell and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) are investigating the cause of the incident.
No harm to people or the environment is ever acceptable and Shell said it “deeply regrets” that this incident occurred.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
