China's maritime authority began a site inspection Thursday to verify whether ConocoPhillips China, or COPC, had stopped oil from seeping from its drilling platforms located in north China's Bohai Bay.

COPC, a subsidiary of US oil giant ConocoPhillips, said on Wednesday that it had sealed the leaks before the August 31st deadline set by the State Oceanic Administration, or SOA.

The company said it had submitted a report to the SOA, showing that it had met its requirements to seal the sources of the spill and eliminate the risk of further leaks.

An inspection team sent by the SOA is now conducting a thorough examination of the company's plugging measures by using satellites, aircraft, sea vessels and underwater robots.
