Oil rig adrift in 25ft Noth Sea waves
A drilling rig with 71 crew broke from its tow and was adrift in the North Sea today, but all on board were in ‘‘good condition,’’ the Norwegian state oil company said.
The Byford Dolphin rig was on its way to plug a well when it broke from its tow at about 0630 GMT in bad weather, with snow flurries and waves of up to 25 feet, Statoil said.
