In oil spill was reported on Friday off the Mumbai coast following a rupture in a pipeline carrying crude oil from state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp's (ONGC) offshore oilfields.
The leakage in a pipeline carrying Mumbai High crude oil to Uran was reported around 8.45 am and production was immediately stopped, a senior company official said.
"Production from the Mumbai High and Bassein oilfields was restarted around 9.50 am and crude oil is being transported to shore using a separate line," he said.
ONGC boats and Coast Guards vessels have been pressed into service to access the damage. "Right now it is difficult
to say what the damage has been," he said.
Production from the field was stopped for a short time following the incident but was resumed shortly after oil flow from subsea wells was diverted through another line
