A specialized team on a reconnaissance mission returned safely Thursday said French oil major Total. The 8-worker crew provided key information on stemming the leak on the Elgin platform, where a gas leak occurred on March 25.
A helicopter departed from Aberdeen at 10:30 a.m. UK time to "carry out a preliminary survey of the leak area, establish zones which can be safely accessed and gather data on the G4 well," said Total in a statement earlier Thursday.
The firm has also contracted specialized crews from Wild Well Control – which helped tackle the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon accident.
