"AL: What caused the well to be taken out of operation?
GOF: We had an issue where one of the small valves in the superstructures of the flow line system on the surface started to leak and we had to close the master valves and then two master valves on top of the well head both failed. This was something we did not expect and it meant we had to quench the well with cold water. It is now in the condition where it needs to be kept cool. We need to replace the master valves and possibly repair the casing, but at the moment we haven't analysed it sufficiently to know if we can repair it or not."
