StatoilHydro Reports "Serious, Confused" Situation At Site Of Major North Sea Oil Leak - ENN/Reuters
OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian energy group StatoilHydro reported a serious oil leak at its Statfjord oilfield in the North Sea on Saturday and said it evacuated all but emergency workers from platform A where oil is still leaking.

"The situation is serious and confused," StatoilHydro said in a statement. No one is hurt or missing and clean-up crews have been mobilized to deal with the spill, the company said.

Two workers who were exposed to gas have received medical care and are feeling well after being removed to the B platform, it said.

"Oil is leaking from one or several storage cells. For safety reasons the oil is now being discharged to sea," StatoilHydro said.

Nice. I'm sure the sea appreciates our safety.
