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”.

The Forties Echo oil platform in the North Sea has been shut down after it was hit by a supply vessel, reports Herald Scotland.

Fifteen of the 30 personnel on the platform have been transferred to the nearby Forties Bravo platform, said operators.

"An initial visual inspection has been carried out from the platform's standby vessel and a specialist inspection team is being mobilized to assess the damage to the platform," said Apache North Sea Ltd.

"There has been no leak of hydrocarbons," added Apache.
