A well in an oil field continues to burn for the sixth consecutive day in the Mangistau region of Kazakhstan, local media said, amid the authorities’ efforts to put it out.
According to local media, the fire broke out on June 9, and according to preliminary data, the fire broke out during excavations and excavations.
The regional administration said that the authorities of the Mangistau region were discussing how to extinguish the fire, as it was proposed to fill it with drilling liquid or drill an additional side path.
The area official, Norlan Nogayev, held an emergency meeting on Tuesday in connection with the fire during the exploration of the Karatorun Yuzhny oil and gas field in the north-western part of the Bozachi peninsula.
Some experts believe that the fire can be extinguished on its own due to low gas pressure.
