Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Royal Dutch Shell Plc said its Cormorant Alpha oil platform in the North Sea remained shut more than a week after a power failure.

Production was stopped Nov. 27 as a precaution after two generators failed. The platform remains closed today, Jack Page, an Aberdeen, Scotland-based spokesman for Shell, said in a telephone interview.

Cormorant Alpha pumps oil from the South Cormorant field, which produced an average of 5,704 barrels a day in the year ended July, according to data on the Web site of the U.K.'s Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.
