The alarm was raised on Friday on the operator’s Brent Charlie.
The oil super major was forced to shutdown production after a gas detection alarm was triggered.
A total of 31 personnel were flown off the platform. The crew were largely associated with production, which remains suspended today.
Investigations into the cause of the isolated incident will be carried out for the remainder of the day.
The Brent field, operated by Shell, lies off the north-east coast of Scotland, midway between the Shetland Islands and Norway. It was discovered in 1991. The field’s lifespan was originally estimated to be only 25 years. To date, the Brent field has produced around three billion barrels of oil equivalent.
Brent Charlie is the last of the four Brent pillars – Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta – to remain in production.

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.
