Total said on Thursday that it had traced the source of the gas leak at the Elgin platform in the UK North Sea to a pocket in a rock formation located 4 km below the seabed but 1 km above the gas reservoir being tapped by the Elgin platform. The gas leaking above sea level is coming out of a pipeline Total sealed off from its main Elgin production reservoirs one year ago, the company said. The gas leak became evident last Sunday after a gas cloud was spotted around the production platform, located about 140 miles east of Aberdeen.
