BP PLC (BP) shut down its Wytch Farm oil field in the
U.K.
in
November following a small oil leak on a pipeline, but should restart the field
shortly, the company said in a statement Thursday.
"No oil left the site and there was no environmental damage," the
statement said. BP describes Wytch Farm as the largest onshore oil field in
Western
Europe
, but its production before the shutdown was a relatively modest 18,000
barrels a day.
BP has replaced the small section of pipe that was the source of the leak. "Production
had been shut down as a precautionary measure. We also used the opportunity to
undertake other inspection and maintenance works," the company said.
