A leakage at ONGC's Mumbai Uran Trunk (MUT) crude oil pipeline in the
western offshore on Friday morning has led to an oil spill of about a
mile, which could mean a loss of about 25,000 barrels, according to an
initial assessment.

In a statement issued here, the company said, "The leakage of oil has
been stopped." The news of the spill saw ONGC stock fall by 2.7 per
cent during the day.

Oil production, however, has resumed from Mumbai High through
ICP-Heera Uran Trunk (HUT) pipeline. The MUT currently pumps 212,000
barrels of oil per day (bopd). A loss of 25,000 barrels would be just
over 10 per cent of daily production from the pipeline, which serves
the Mumbai High field.

Mr S. Sundareshan, Petroleum Secretary, said, "There has been a minor
oil spill… the spill has been brought under control. We haven't yet
found the cause of the leak."

He also said that the loss has been limited to just the oil in the
pipeline at the time.

ONGC said the leakage was observed 2 km from BPB platform (Bassein oil
and gas field) on the western offshore, 80 km from the Mumbai coast.
Connected oil and gas wells were closed for safety reasons.

The oil and gas production from Mumbai High was diverted to the
ICP-Heera Uran Trunk (HUT) pipeline.

"The Coast Guard had assessed the situation of oil spill and feeling
that the matter is under control decided to withdraw the Regional
Contingency Plan. It has been estimated that the oil spill will be
dispersed within 48 hours. Surveillance and monitoring of operations
will continue jointly by ONGC and Coast Guard," said the company.

The leakage was detected at MUT oil pipeline at on Friday morning. The
company had activated the Regional Contingency Plan (which is the
existing emergency response measure) on detection of the leak.
