Gas leak causes fire at oil field well - Azerbaijan's SOCAR

Gas leak causes fire at oil field well - Azerbaijan's SOCAR
26.09.2016 22:51
A large gas leak at Azerbaijan's Guneshli oil field during maintenance caused a fire on Monday, the state energy company SOCAR said.
   
SOCAR said earlier a fire had broken out at the well on one of the Guneshli oil platforms, which belongs to the company, but then said that it was just the gas leakage.
   
"Despite of all security measures, (a) gas fountain turned into (a) fire," SOCAR and the country's Emergency Ministry said in a joint statement.
   
All 69 workers had been evacuated from the platform, it said.
