Oil India Limited flew in equipment weighing about 60 tonnes from Canada on Wednesday night to kill the Baghjan gas well that suffered a blowout on May 27.
On September 13, experts from Alert had successfully managed to douse the well fire by diverting the flow of natural gas to nearby flare pits, a prelude to killing it sometime next week.
A senior Oil India official said it will take another 14 days for the equipment from Piston Well Services to reach Baghjan because the trailers can travel only at night, and another seven to 10 days for the stubbing operations to be completed.
