Bahrain Days From Extinguishing Oil Well Blaze
Bahrain Days From Extinguishing Oil Well Blaze UNITED ARAB EMIRATES: April 16, 2008 DUBAI - An oil well fire that started in Bahrain on Saturday could take days to extinguish as the country waits for specialist fire-fighting equipment to arrive, a spokesman at Bahrain's state oil company Bapco said on Tuesday. Output from Bahrain's onshore 35,000 barrel per day (bpd) Awali field was unaffected by the fire, which broke out during routine maintenance, said Bapco's acting manager of public relations Mohammed Shehab.
