BOE’s Cheryl Anderson picked up this AP report. Helicopter accidents continue to be a leading cause of offshore casualties.
A helicopter carrying crew from an offshore drilling rig crashed into the sea off Myanmar, killing three people on board. Eight were rescued.
The aircraft was carrying staff of the Malaysian oil company Petronas from the Yetagun offshore gas field in the Andaman Sea.
The oil field is operated by Petronas Carigali of Malaysia, PTTEP of Thailand and Japan’s Nippon Oil company. Petronas also operates a cross-border gas pipeline to transport gas from Yetagun to Thailand.
Thats about the worst report I heard, I dont care who owns what and what goes where, I want to know about the accident, what went wrong? etc
