Like I've already said a few posts above, if they had been in that position, then the crew would have already declared a PAN and/or a MAYDAY due to their fuel state. ATC never even received a MAYDAY call.
I understand that the 'run out of fuel scenario' is still a popular rumour amongst some of the offshore community. This might be the reasoning behind GJM's ill informed posts.
