Petrobras Stops Platform After Gas Leak

摘要

Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras halted production on Sunday from its P-40 platform in the offshore Marlim Sul field after a gas leak on the vessel, an oil workers' union and the country's petroleum regulator said on Monday. The P-40, a semisubmersible production platform, was producing about 45,915 b/d of oil and 800,000 cubic meters per day when it was shut down, according to the union.
