Royal Dutch Shell Plc said an oil leak from its Gannet Alpha platform in the North Sea spilled between 12 to 120 barrels and is “under control.”
The company said in a statement that its estimate today is less than an earlier preliminary estimate of as many as 1,000 barrels as it is based on oil volume detected on the surface of the water, “natural dispersion and a better understanding of the spill composition.”
