No human losses have been reported as a result of the fire on a production platform at Azerbaijan`s offshore Guneshli field on Dec.4, president of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Rovnag Abdullayev told local ANS TV channel.
Oil workers, who were on the production platform at the Azerbaijani Guneshli offshore field, are being evacuated on boats, a source on the oil market told Trend.
A strong fire took place at the Guneshli offshore field Dec.4, the source said, adding that no injuries were reported. It was also said that the fire still continues.
The ignition started at the platform No.10 of this field, where the Azerbaijani SOCAR company produces oil and gas through its own funds.
SOCAR said that the fire at the platform was caused by the windstorm, which damaged a gas line.
A special headquarters has been created in connection with this incident, according to the company.
