Oil giant Shell has been charged after an investigation into a leak at a North Sea platform in 2011, the BBC Scotland news website has learned.
It involved the Gannet Alpha platform, 113 miles (180km) from Aberdeen.
It was reported that the pipeline leaked more than 200 tonnes of oil.
The case against Shell UK is due to call at Aberdeen Sheriff Court next week. The charges cover oil pollution, pipeline safety and health and safety regulations.
The pipeline involved was about 300ft (91m) below the surface.
