MOSCOW–OAO Gazprom (GAZP.RS) said Greenpeace activists who climbed onto its Prirazlomnaya offshore oil platform in the Arctic early Friday are not affecting work there.
“All work on the platform is being carried out according to plan,” the state-controlled gas giant said in a statement.
Greenpeace earlier said a team of activists climbed the platform with enough supplies to last them several days in order to protest against plans to drill in the Arctic.
Prirazlomnaya is Russia’s first offshore platform in the Arctic and is expected to start production later this year.

Really, who cares what Greenpeace thinks….Hey Mr. Greenpeace you realize it takes crude oil that needs to be refined to make your little boats go that take you all over the world to reek havoc on hard working marine industry folks trying to make the world a better place. I disagree with you tactics and actions. Keep it up, you'll end up like that fool Paul Watson.
