Fire on the caspian gas well still continues

Fire on the gas well No 90 on the Bulla-Deniz field, which started on August 17, 2013, still continues.

Sources from SOCAR said that on August 24, 2013 SOCAR and the Azerbaijan Ministry of Emergency Situations started joint operations to liquidate aftermath of the accident on the exploration well No 90.

The upper structures of the well were removed so that fire will come out of the well vertically without expanding throughout the foundation.

The attempts have been made to extinguish the fire, but pressure is still high on the well and the traditional methods bring no results. The oilmen's goal is to save the exploration well, where the drilling progress reached 5868 meters.

* Fire on the exploration well No 90 on the Bulla-Deniz field, 80 km south of Baku, took place on August 17, 2013 at 11.30 p.m. local time.-0-
