SHELL CONFIRMS GULF OF MEXICO SPILL
SHELL yesterday confirmed a leak from an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, just 26 miles from the site of last year’s spill from BP’s Macondo well. Shell claimed the liquid was in fact drilling fluid and would not have “any significant impact on the environment”.
The leak was from Transocean’s Deepwater Nautilus rig.
