CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
June 18, 2012
Stone Energy
Mr. Jerry Wenzel
Vice President, Production and Drilling
625 East Kaliste Saloom Road
Lafayette, LA 70508
CPF 4-2011-7002M
Dear Mr. Wenzel:
On December 6-10, 2011, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-
site pipeline safety inspection of Stone Energy procedures in Lafayette, LA. As a result of the
inspection, Stone Energy was issued a Notice of Amendment on August 8, 2011, which proposed
amendment of your procedures.
Stone Energy submitted its amended procedures on October 28, 2011. My staff reviewed the
amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this Notice of Amendment
have been corrected.
This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank you
for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
R. M. Seeley
Director, Southwest Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
