Chevron/KS Endeavor Platform On Fire Off Nigeria Coast-Possible Blowout
1/16/12 2:00pm
The KS Endeavor drilling platform has caught fire while drilling for Chevron off the coast of Nigeria, leaving at least 2 unaccounted for at this time.
The explosion occured between 4:30-5:00am Monday morning local time.Those missing include 1 Nigerian and an expatriate. An estimated 213 workers present at the facility during the explosion were reportedly evacuated from the scene. "We immediately flew out people to the nearby North Apoi platform, and have been helping those needing any medical assistance," Chevron spokesman Scott Walker said.
Chevron has not stated what caused the fire but a spokesman for the state-run Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation believes a "gas kick" was responsible. The KS Endeavor was drilling in the Pennington Field in Bayelsa state waters.
