Shell works to contain North Sea oil spill << BACK Tuesday, August 16, 2011 LONDON — An estimated 1,300 barrels of oil have spilled into the U.K. North Sea from a leaking pipeline at a Royal Dutch Shell PLC platform since last Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported.
If Shell’s estimate is correct, the oil spill is the largest to affect the country since 2000.
Shell has been working to contain a leak from a ruptured undersea pipe at the Gannet Alpha platform since last Wednesday, the article stated.
Shell said the leak is “under control” and that the well that feeds the pipeline remains closed. 8/16/2011 11:53:57 AM |

1,300 barrels is less than half the natural seep in a single day in the Gulf of Mexico 8/16/2011 1:16:54 PM |
