US oil giant ConocoPhillips, already facing legal action and mounting public anger over a huge oil spill off China's northeast coast, has found nine new leaks in the same area, authorities said. The State Oceanic Administration (SOA) said on Saturday ConocoPhillips had reported the leakages near a platform in Bohai Bay jointly owned by the American company and China's CNOOC. Further details were not provided. ConocoPhillips has said more than 2,100 barrels of oil and oil-based mud have leaked from two platforms, reportedly polluting beaches and killing marine life in the area.
