The Assam government on Wednesday said two more months are likely to be taken by the experts to douse the flame at Oil India’s damaged gas well at Baghjan, where the gas is flowing uncontrollably for the past 99 days.
Responding to a Zero Hour notice by Congress MLA Durga Bhumij, Commerce and Industry Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said that a team of experts from Canada is on the way to Baghjan in Tinsukia district to “kill” the well through snubbing technology.
“The experts are on their way to Assam from Canada with all advanced equipment. They will kill the well through snubbing technology. After carrying out preparatory works, the exercise may take 6-8 weeks to complete,” Patowary said.
