A "hydrocarbon leak" was detected at an unmanned oil platform of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) at Bombay High but was contained by a Navy team, sources said here today.
"Hydrocarbon leak was detected on an unmanned oil platform of Nilam oil field at Bombay High last morning," a defence official said.
The Navy rushed an Immediate Support Vessel (ISV) upon the request by ONGC and a repair team of two persons, along with equipment was moved to the platform, the official said.
The team left the platform after successful repairs, they said, adding the timely intervention prevented a potentially hazardous situation.
