Efforts to douse blaze at Oil India’s Baghjan gas well in Assam hampered due to flooding
PSU major Oil India Ltd (OIL) on Sunday said its efforts to douse a blaze at its damaged gas well in Assam’s Baghjan have been severely hampered with rising floodwater level at the site.
Although the preparation work at the main well site was completely hit, some civil works were carried out during the day for creating passages to it, the company said in a statement.
The well number 5 at Baghjan in Tinsukia district has been spewing gas uncontrollably for the last 33 days, following a blowout on May 27, and it caught fire on June 9, killing two of OIL’s firefighters.
