Stingray reported being notified of a potential leak in the area of Vermilion 263 offshore southwest Louisiana, and as a precautionary measure has asked operators of the platforms at Vermillon 214, Vermilion 229 and East Cameron 257 to shut in until investigation of the potential leak is completed.
