Output at N.Sea Gullfaks B platform shut after helicopter crash-Statoil

Reuters - UK Focus

OSLO, April 29 (Reuters) - Production at the Statoil (LSE: 0M2Z.L - news) -operated Gullfaks B platform in the North Sea is shut for an undetermined period following a helicopter crash in which 13 platform staff are presumed dead, a senior company official said.

"Production is shut at Gullfaks B so that we can take care of the (platform) staff in the best way possible," Statoil's head of development and production in Norway, Arne Sigve Nylund, told a news conference.

He did not say at what rate the platform was producing at when it shut down.

Partners (LSE: 0QOQ.L - news) in the field include Austria's OMV (EUREX: 430021.EX - news) and Norwegian state-owned firm Petoro. (Reporting by Gwladys Fouche, editing by Stine Jacobsen)
