Iranian military forces handed back control of an oil rig seized yesterday in the Persian Gulf to its Romanian owners, a company official said.
"We have contact with the rig and the Iranians have now gone," said Radu Petrescu, spokesman for Grup Servicii Petroliere (GSP), the Romanian owners of the platform, named Orizont, in a phone interview from Bucharest today.
The Romanian company was in the process of removing the rig from Iranian waters because of a contractual dispute with its client Oriental Oil Kish when it was fired on and boarded yesterday, the spokesman said.
