Brazil Navy investigates new oil spill off coast near P-57 oil platform
An oil spill was discovered off Brazil's coast near the country's Espirito Santo state, Brazil's Navy said on Thursday, May 17th,2012, the latest in a series of spills that have raised questions about the safety of a massive expansion of the country's oil production capacity. Spokespeople at Petrobras, the state-controlled oil company, declined to comment. Oil workers returning home after work offshore said there was an oil stain about 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) long on the ocean near the company's P-57 oil platform, the Folha de S. Paulo daily newspaper reported on Thursday. The P-57, a converted oil tanker, works in the Jubarte field about 85 kilometers (53 miles) off Brazil's coast. Source: Reuters
