chart q of the day

[Let'sgoflying!]

just how high are these oil rigs? (why the unusual mef)?
wide view included for perspective, narrow view has the quad marked.
could it be a very tall asos antenna? :O
no land in that quad

The New Orleans sectional notes MEF's in the area of that quadrant should not exceed 400 feet. The MORA provides at least 1,000 ft terrain clearance in non-mountainous areas, so 1,400 ft seems reasonable.

Yet adjacent, and identical gulf quadrants are 400'.
Something doesn't add up.

I saw it on a paper chart, let me see if I can locate and scan.
