Shell Reports US Gulf Spill

摘要

The US Coast Guard was investigating a 13,000-gallon spill from an oil rig leased to Shell, operating about 26 miles southeast of last year’s BP Macondo oil well disaster, a Coast Guard spokesman said on Monday. The spill of either drilling fluid or oil mixed with drilling fluid was reported Sunday by Transocean’s Deepwater Nautilus rig, which was drilling a well at Shell’s Appomattox discovery.
