Brazil Halts Production at P-37 Platform After Leak

Posted by November 11, 2015

Brazil's state-run oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA said on Wednesday it halted production at the Campos Basin's P-37 platform, which produces 30,000 barrels of oil a day, after an oil workers' union reported a leak.
 
Petrobras, as the company is known, said it had identified oil floating around the platform and halted production preventively.
 
Union FUP, whose workers are currently striking, said the leak started on Tuesday.
