SOCAR reduces the consequences of fire at Guneshli oil field
23.05.2016 14:15
The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) works in accelerated mode to eliminate consequences of the fire at the platform #10 of the Guneshli offshore field in the Caspian Sea, SOCAR said in a message.

Oil and gas wells damaged by the fire at the field will be repaired and commissioned before late 2016, according to the message.

The fire broke out on the offshore platform December 4, as a strong storm damaged an underwater high-pressure gas pipeline.

 The bodies of 14 killed were retrieved, while 16 people are still listed as missing. 33 people were rescued in an ensuing large-scale operation.

The fire was fully extinguished at 19:24 local time on February 10.
