Aban Pearl semisub sinks
Aban Offshore’s Aban Pearl semi-submersible drilling rig sank into the Caribbean early this morning, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said via a message sent out on social media platform Twitter.
The semisub was operating for Venezuela’s state-run producer PDVSA under a five-year contract which came into effect from the first quarter of last year.
In his tweet, Chavez said all 95 crew on the rig were evacuated safely. He later added two navy patrols were in the area.
Chavez’ first tweet said: "To my sorrow, I want to inform that the natural gas platform Aban Pearl sunk a few moments ago. The good news is that the 95 workers are safe."
