The Leak Occurred at the Whale Park Asset, on the Coastline of the State of Espírito Santo This Saturday. Petrobras Reports That Support Units Are Working on Dispersing the Spill Right Now.

It Is Estimated That 188 Cubic Meters of Oil Leaked from Petrobras’ P-58 Offshore Platform Early This Saturday Morning, According to the Brazilian Oil Company in an Official Statement.

According to Initial Reports, the Leak Occurred Due to a Hose Failure While Oil Was Being Transferred from the Platform to a Storage Tank.

Petrobras Stated That the Transfer Process Was Immediately Interrupted. The Platform Is in Safe Conditions, There Was No Impact on Operations, and No One Was Injured, According to the Statement.

The P-58 Is Located in the Campos Basin, About 80 Kilometers from the Coast of Espírito Santo State.

Two Ships Are on Site for Spill Containment, and Initial Studies Indicate That There Is No Risk of the Spilled Oil Reaching the Brazilian Coast, Petrobras Stated.
