Casualty details
drilling rig has sunk after one or more of its legs penetrated the seabed off the coast of Sarawak, Malaysia on Monday, Malaysia-based drilling contractor Velesto Energy has confirmed.
All 101 personnel on board the Velesto Naga 7 were transferred to rescue vessels immediately after the incident and no injuries are reported.
The Velesto Naga 7 was operating at the Salam-3 well for customer ConocoPhillips at the time of the accident. Velesto said the incident occurred due to rapid soil penetration, which caused the rig to list and subsequently sink. The company said the rig is now fully submerged at the location.
