A flare on Total's North Sea platform that threatened to cause an explosion has been put out, sources from the French oil giant said on Saturday.
"The flare on the Elgin platform was extinguished last night," the company's chief executive Christophe de Margerie said via Total's Twitter account on Saturday. A spokesman made a confirmation.
The flare, some 100 meters away from a natural gas leak that began six days ago on the platform off Scotland's east coast, triggered fears of a massive explosion.
