Wow some serious worry to environment safety. Glad got all off plus neighbouring rigs.
A cloud of gas was reported to be surrounding the platform, which is located 150 miles (240km) off Aberdeen.
Coastguards said shipping was being ordered to keep at least two miles away and there was a three-mile exclusion zone for aircraft.
Shell has moved 120 non-essential staff from the Shearwater platform and Hans Deul drilling rig, about four miles from the Elgin, because of the drifting gas.
The oil giant said the move was a "precautionary measure".
