BEIJING- ConocoPhillips China, the operator of two leaking oil platforms in Northeast China's Bohai Bay, conceded for the first time on Friday that it had not done enough to check for potential leaks in the bay.

That admission came after more oil was found to be seeping into the ocean from what is known as the oilfield's Platform B.

According to a statement released on Friday by the North China Sea Branch of the State Oceanic Administration, ConocoPhillips reported the discovery of two new leaks on Aug 7.
