Petronas says six injured in oil platform fire in Malaysia
Petronas said the blaze broke out early Tuesday at the Bekok C platform, which is operated by its unit Petronas Carigali. The platform is located 200 kilometres (124 miles) off Peninsula Malaysia.
"The fire started just after midnight and was contained by the platform’s emergency response team soon after," Petronas said in a statement.
Petronas said six people suffered injuries and have been taken to a hospital in eastern Terengganu state, while the remaining 102 personnel have been evacuated to nearby platforms.
Petronas said Bekok C was undergoing a scheduled shutdown for maintenance at the time of the incident, adding that an investigation was underway.
