Statoil depressurized and shut down Statfjord A (OGJ Online, Nov. 15, 2013) and found the site of the leak.

About half of the 168 personnel on board were moved to nearby installations and later returned to Statfjord A after the leakage had been stopped. Statoil said there were no injuries during the incident.
