ANOTHER minor oil spill, the third such incident, occurred in China's Bohai Bay early yesterday as the nation's maritime authority urged extensive checks on offshore energy exploration activities.
About 0.1 to 0.15 cubic meters of oil leaked into the sea after the central control system broke down about 1:30am on the main platform of CNOOC Ltd's Suizhong 36-1 oilfield, which is also located in Bohai Bay, the State Oceanic Administration said.
The incident created a 1-square-kilometer slick and the field was shut down, the SOA said. CNOOC said the source causing the leak was disconnected immediately.
The CNOOC used oil-absorbent mats and oil dispersants to clean up the spill, while the SOA has dispatched a helicopter to monitor the situation, the SOA said.
