An investigation has been launched by the UK offshore safety regulator after a leak of produced water activated gas detectors on Apache North Sea’s Forties Charlie platform.
The incident occurred on 13 April.
Apache said produced water came into contact with a fixed gas detector on the platform, which triggered an alarm on the fire and gas console.
