[MONTREAL] An oil platform off the Canadian island of Newfoundland was shut down Wednesday after the discharge of a mix of oil and water into the Atlantic Ocean, American energy giant ExxonMobil said.
Hibernia - which opened for production in 1997 and is located about 196 miles east of St John's, Newfoundland - is jointly owned by Chevron, Suncor and Equinor in addition to ExxonMobil, which holds the majority share. An earlier statement released by Exxon said that sheen monitoring was ongoing and more information would be released when it became available, adding that all platform personnel were safe.
A buoy was also sent out to track the sheen's movement in the Atlantic, and a surveillance flight took place Wednesday afternoon.
