Elgin oil leak relief could take six months, says Total
Total says it could take up to six months to drill a relief well to stop the leak at its Elgin platform in the North Sea.
Exclusion zones have been put in place and workers from a nearby platform have been taken ashore.
BBC Radio 5 live's Shelagh Fogarty spoke to David Hainsworth, a spokesman for Total, and to BBC Scotland correspondent Colin Blane, who has spoken to some of the evacuated workers.
