At 2.40 today, I received word from Grampian Police that they were "investigating an alleged incident on a North Sea installation", and that "arrangements are being made for a 23-year-old British woman to be taken on shore". They said that the incident "is not considered terrorism related".
The BBC is now reporting:

A total of 539 people are being taken off the Safe Scandinavia accommodation platform in an operation involving 13 helicopters and a fixed wing aircraft.
It is understood a bomb disposal team has been sent to the platform, although it has not been confirmed that a device has been found.
The operation, 130 miles off the Aberdeen coast, began at 0920 GMT.
Oil platform evacuated in alert: BBC |

If this is was a joke, I'm sure those that will be forking out the half a million quid for the evacuation won't find it very funny... and neither will the joker:
