Two oil workers are missing
but more than 30 others have
been rescued from a listing
Sinopec rig off China's
northeast coast. Officials
said rescue teams saved 34
people who were working on the
platform in the Shengli oil
field off Dongying in Shandong
province when the incident
occurred last night.
Helicopters and boats were searching for the two people who slipped from the platform, now leaning at a 45-degree angle, Xinhua news agency said. The Shengli oil field is the second-largest in China. "No oil was spilled," said a Sinopec spokesman. "The cause of the accident is still under investigation," he said, adding it was probably due to powerful storms in the area. |
