Mariner Energy down 2 pct after platform explosion

Mariner Energy shares dropped about 2 percent Thursday following news that one of its production platforms exploded in the Gulf of Mexico.

Mariner shares lost 47 cents, or 2 percent, to $22.88 in midday trading.

The platform is west of where BP's Deepwater Horizon exploded in April, setting off a massive oil spill.
