Blue Marlin bill stuck in Crude oil Loading Hose off coast of Angola

Imagine the speed this fish was moving at to get its snoz through this pipe!!

These are pictures of the floating load hose on the FPSO Girassol in Angola, Africa that was pierced by a blue marlin.
Load operations were shut down for a few days while they replaced the hose.
For reference, this terminal produces about 250k barrels of oil a day and this loading hose is approx 24in in diameter.

Yep, heavy and fast = momentum
And did you note the capacity of that oil pipe.

Millions of bbls at, let's say, $70 ea.
That's expensive Downtime.

I wonder if some spilt?
Click to expand...

burglar corrects the oil price to nearer $87 bbl.
but then I still don't know:

a.) When this happened and was repaired?
b.) How long it took to fix, exactly?
c.) Oil Price on those days?
d.) Share price action (monthly chart!)?

Ahh, the vagaries surrounding the market research! :)
Do your own research!

Cheers,
