Poor weather condition on Saturday hampered work to control gas flowing uncontrollably from a well blowout of the Oil India Limited’s (OIL) at Baghjan in Assam’s Tinsukia district, officials said.
Gas is flowing uncontrollably from the well blowout since May 27, they said.
“Poor weather condition is hampering the work progress for removal of equipment from well plinth and development of approach road for removing equipment from the site”, according to a statement issued by the company.
Associated condensates coming out with the gas are water sprayed and collected in a pond near the well site itself and utmost care has been taken to arrest condensate spillage to surrounding areas.
