IRJ Sep 6 - Government inspectors on Friday did not find any oil leakage from
Mariner Energy’s platform that caused an explosion and burning in the Gulf
 of Mexico, according to the U.S. Interior Department.
The department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement
said to press, "Inspectors have reported no sign of pollution coming from
Mariner Energy Resource's Vermilion 380 platform during an initial inspection of
the facility today"
"The inspectors were on the platform for several hours today and confirmed the
safety shut-in valves for the associated wells and incoming and outgoing
pipelines are all closed, and the platform's tanks and pumps are secure," the
agency said.
