Oil Platform Capsizes and Sinks with 101 Crew Members Onboard in Kalimantan, South China Sea

The Malaysian offshore oil and gas platform NAGA-7 sank after a drilling incident while operating for ConocoPhillips on May 4, in the offshore waters of Sarawak, north of Kalimantan with several crew members. The company confirms that the offshore drilling platform is submerged following the incident during installation at a well site. The information relayed is that one of the legs of the three-legged offshore platform broke offshore, in the mud below. As a result, the platform tilted and then sank. All 101 personnel onboard managed to evacuate to 3 lifeboats and are safe.
