Drilling platform hit by APU in the Black Sea continues to burn

8

It became known that one of the drilling platforms of SUE RU "Chernomorneftegaz" (Simferopol), located in the northwestern Black Sea, continues to burn. It was subjected to a missile attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine two months ago, and the fire on it has not been extinguished to this day. This is evidenced by the data of monitoring resources.

It should be noted that environmentalists and caring public figures are following the development of the situation with concern. They are regularly publish satellite images that show the combustion process at an engineering complex designed for the extraction of hydrocarbon raw materials.




June 20 APU fired objects (block conductors) BK-1, BK-2 and BK-3, which were developing the Odessa and Bezymyanny gas fields on the Black Sea shelf. At that moment, there were 109 people on the towers. Then 3 people were injured, and 7 were missing. On June 26, the Ukrainian military fired again at the drilling rigs. The biggest damage was on BK-1.

Senator of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation from Crimea Olga Kovitidi later reported that the fire on the tower could not be extinguished - the fire reached the well. At the same time, experts in the gas industry believe that extinguishing an underwater fire is a very difficult and expensive undertaking, and even during the ongoing hostilities.

      It is strange not that for technical reasons the fire was not tamed, but that the smoke from the fire was not declared ... an attack by the Russian Federation on NATO, and that Article 5 of the Charter was not ... involved! ;-(

        ...... the attack of the Russian Federation on NATO, and did not ... use Article 5 of the Charter! ;-(

        Do you want a nuclear war? For example, I haven’t yet. Not all the strays have come to survive yet. I’m delaying World War III as best I can. belay Even for a second. Already a feat. But if they beg very much. Why don’t give a damn about my stray for survival laughing And extinguishing this platform is still a pleasure for yourself. Especially at gunpoint. Therefore, let it burn for now.

          A hint of a reaction in the West to ... the Ukrainian shelling of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant and the sarcasm of the comment are not clear? ;-(

        Another thing is strange - why are the wells in Syria occupied by amers not burning? The sooner they start to burn, the faster the Americans will fade from Syria. Yes, and optimism, in prices, they will subtract.

      maybe someone should have mothballed the drilling rigs, and not wait for some strikes !? of course no one is guilty. but everything is decided on the spot

      For the world anti-Ukrainian propaganda, this is an excellent example of the crime of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but why is it not used, as if it were necessary. The impact of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the rigs producing gas and oil condensate is a crime and equate in consequences to the accident on the BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico with an environmental disaster. Now there is combustion on the production platform, gas condensate and other related components that pollute the Black Sea are coming from the well.
