It seems that Shell’s Gannet Alpha platform has had another close call.
On Monday workers were evacuated and production shut down after natural gas began seeping out from under the platform.
All of the ingredients for a disastrous explosion, of the kind that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, which almost brought about the demise of BP and the explosion on Shell Brent Bravo, resulting from Shell management (Malcolm Brinded) failing to take adequate action after a safety audit exposed a “Touch F*** All” safety culture and falsification of safety records.
