[quote:alexisj9:MV8xODE5OTU4XzMwNDA1NTQ5XzdCMTU2QkY=] Oil giant Total is preparing to start work on stemming the gas leaking from a North Sea platform. The first plan of action for Total is to carry out a well-control operation by pumping mud into the leaking well. This means reboarding the platform, which remains surrounded by a cloud of flammable gas. Total is in talks with the Health and Safety Executive about how that can be done safely. Total has already mobilised two rigs to drill the well - Sedco 714 which is drilling 400km north of the Elgin platform, and Rowan Gorilla V, drilling 6km from the platform. They will be moved into place in the near future. The environmental campaign group Greenpeace took a boat to a site three-miles from the deserted Elgin platform to take water and air samples on Monday. Christoph Lieven, an oil and gas expert, said the samples would be analysed at a German laboratory to find out what is creating the sheen on the water, and how concentrated it is. "The pollution here is really huge, given the accident was eight days ago, and we are just outside of the security zone. That we can see this sheen means there is a lot of oil coming from the platform. http://news.stv.tv/scotland/north/302341-work-begins-to-stop-north-sea-gas-leak/ [/quote]
