The fire on the Bulla-Deniz gas field that broke out at the beginning of the night of Aug. 18 is still going on. According to the spokesman for SOCAR Nizamaddin Guliyev, the order of the President of SOCAR established a commission to deal with the accident. Estimates of the economic and environmental consequences of the accident will be made later.
Meanwhile, representatives of the Ministry of Environment are monitoring at the scene to assess the impact of the fire on the environment. Experts estimate the impact as "insignificant."
The representative of the Environment Ministry Mirsalam Ganbarov told Turan that for security purposes, to approach the scene of the fire is impossible, and the surveillance and monitoring are conducted in the distant way. Given that methane gas burns, any damage to the environment has not been registered, he said.
Recall that the fire originated in the exploration well number 29 at the time of drilling at a depth of about 6 km. At this point, there was an open gushing gas, which caught fire. The workers on the platform were evacuated. Bulla-Deniz is in the open sea, 80 km south of Baku. -16D-
