Randall Treon and the four-member MV Trinity Seal crew were recognized at a dinner held in their honor by American Exploration at the Petroleum Club in Houston. The ship's crew carried out the safe evacuation of 42 personnel on American Exploration's East Cameron Block 328 platform when the A-6 well blew out on April 1. "American Exploration believes the decisive and courageous action by the captain and crew of the Trinity Seal, without regard for their own safety, may well have saved the lives of the platform per- sonnel," said CEO Mark Andrews. The platform ignited shortly after full evacuation and burned for three days. The well was capped on May 18th, reportedly without adverse spill from the blowout and fire. Production from the platform is expected to be delayed, but not impaired, while facilities are rebuilt and drilling is resumed.
