LONDON — Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD) Monday said its Brent Delta oil and natural gas platform in North Sea restarted Saturday evening after being brought offline a week earlier because of a small hydrocarbon leak.
The platform, which produces an average of 5,000 barrels of oil and 100 million cubic feet of gas a day, is back to the same rate of production as before the incident, a spokesman in London said.
The leak on April 30 prompted Shell to evacuate 64 non-essential personnel from the platform, though they had all returned by the following day.
The evacuation was the latest in a string of problems at the Brent field, starting last September, when two workers were killed in a gas leak on the Bravo platform.
All four of the Brent platforms were taken offline following the accident, though Delta was only taken briefly.
The Charlie platform only restarted production in February after extensive refurbishment.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
