Shares in SBM Offshore NV (SBMO.AE) tumbled 6.6% on Wednesday following reports of problems at a project at the Yme oil field in the Norwegian part of the North Sea.

The reports said that Canada's Talisman Energy Inc. (TLM.T) had evacuated a platform in the area, but didn't elaborate. SBM Offshore has supplied equipment to the project, and in 2011 had to take charges of several million dollars for unexpected costs related to it.

Officials at the companies or the Norwegian authorities didn't respond to requests for comment.

SBM Offshore shares closed at EUR10.46.
