BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

June 22, 2015 Reprints

Brazilian oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. said that 600 liters of oil has been spilled from its pipeline linking a main Atlantic Ocean terminal with a refinery near Rio de Janeiro, reported Reuters.

An official at the refinery said that the spill contaminated a coastal wetland area and has leaked into the ocean.

Petrobras said that 50 liters of oil leaked into the ocean.

The leak in the pipeline was caused by an attempt to steal fuel, added the firm.
