N. Sea oil worker strike set to disrupt Ninian crude stream Nov.5-Dec.4
LONDON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - About 100 workers on platforms linked to the North Sea Ninian crude oil field, which feeds into the global Brent benchmark, are set for a strike between Nov. 5 and Dec. 4 over a wage dispute, the Unite union said on Thursday.
"If we have to take strike action, then I would expect this to have a major impact on production from the Ninian field," Unite representative John Boland told Reuters in an email.
The Ninian crude stream feeds into the blend of North Sea crudes that underpins the Brent benchmark.
