Brazil's National Petroleum Agency, or ANP, said Thursday that an oil leak was detected in the offshore Frade field near the site of a Chevron Corp. (CVX) oil spill in November.

The ANP expected to publish the results of an initial investigation later Thursday. But the agency confirmed a report by the local Globo news agency that Chevron detected on Wednesday a small oil slick and a new leak on the ocean floor in the Frade oil field.
