A North Sea oil platform where two workers were killed was at the centre of another safety scare yesterday after a leak was discovered in one of the rig’s legs.
More than 80 workers were airlifted from the Shell-operated Brent Bravo, which lies 116 miles north-east of Lerwick in Shetland, after the hydrocarbon leak was found on Sunday night. A number of employees have remained on the platform, which is in the process of shutting down so that the leak can be repaired. A spokesman said it was a small oil leak and no gas had escaped.
