What's going on beneath DESDI?

My last few flights have been during the daytime, which is unusual in itself, but I have noticed that just as you are approaching DESDI, there is a strange anomaly on the sea surface and I was wondering if anyone knew what it was.

There is a large oil or gas platform and next to it there appears a circle in the water (I guess around 100m meters in diameter) which appears to be boiling or bubbles rising to the surface, with steam/smoke rising from it. This steam/smoke then forms a small cloud. I assume its something to do with the oil well but it seems odd that it is producing smoke/steam from the sea.
