Oil Patch Insider: Greenpeace activists arrested in Russian Arctic oil protest

Reuters is reporting that the Russian coastguard has arrested two Greenpeace activists who scaled the Prirazlomnaya oil platform in the Barents Sea.

Reuters said Sept. 17 that the activists were in custody on the coastguard vessel.

The Prirazlomnaya platform is operated by Gazprom.

Greenpeace told Reuters in an emailed message that it sent five boats to the rig early Sept. 17, one of which was arrested by the Russian coastguard which fired warning shots across the bows of the Arctic Sunrise base vessel.
