Comprehensive blowout control plan finalised

A massive jet fire of up to 20 metres height and 25 metres width erupted around 12:40 pm January 5 near Mori and Irusumanda villages after a gas leak at an Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC)-owned well, Mori-5, whose intensity has been reduced now.

The gas well is not operated by the Maharatna company but by its Production Enhancement Contractor (PEC) Deep Industries Ltd, an Ahmedabad-based company.

“The senior management of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) including Director (Technology & Field Services) from Delhi along with Crisis Management Team (CMT) experts, have assumed operational control of Well Mori-5. A comprehensive blowout control plan has been finalised,” said an official press release from the public sector major.

In the wake of continuous efforts, the ONGC team deployed at the inferno managed to reduce its intensity and size, which has been raging for more than a day already.
