Sigh.

THERE have been 69 reports of oil and chemical spills in the North Sea over the last three months, figures say.

The most recent one reported was the Total gas leak at the Elgin platform on 25 March, with its status described as “under review”. The table was published by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Oil & Gas UK, which represents offshore companies, said the leaks were “relatively small” and many of the chemicals “benign”.

BP and Shell were among the companies listed, with BP reporting the highest number of incidents at 23.

Other companies included EnQuest, British Gas and Nexen.
