No less than 100 oil workers were confirmed rescued yesterday. The fire, which was confirmed by the Joint Military Task Force in the Niger Delta , codenamed Operation Delta Safe, started around 5am on Saturday and has blew up the oil platform and razed down the residential area of oil workers. The rescued workers have been flown to Port Harcourt on Rivers. While the others are still trapped in their residence with fire fighters and locals battling to put off the fire and save the helipad. Eyes Of Lagos gathered yesterday that the fire fighters, who were flown into the community on Saturday from Port Harcourt, Rivers State , were assisted by indigenes of Koluama 1 and other fishing communities in the area. A source, who was part of the indigenes who is assisting in the rescue and evacuation operation, told Eyes Of Lagos that though the oilfield is operated by ConOil, the oil rig is owned by Depthwize Nigeria, an oil services firm working at the oil block operated by Conoil Nigeria Limited . The rig is located within Nigeria’s territorial waters in the Atlantic Ocean off Koluama community in Southern Ijaw area of the state. Spokesman for the OPDS, Maj. Abdullahi Ibrahim , who confirmed the incident on Saturday, said that all personnel on board the rig were successfully evacuated. He said that the fire was already under control due to the efforts of firefighters , adding that no life was lost .

What is Conoil doing in SS? I thought they said Ondo and Lagos have oil? Adenuga, Alakinja, Otedola, Folawinyos; all leave their SW oil claimed region to come to SS? Afonjas deceiving and fooling themselves. Why can't Asari Dokubo and Tompolo float an oil company or partner with foreign investors; drill and share the profits among the SS? Instead of these afonjas taking what's not theirs 7 Likes 1 Share |

Finstar: People got trapped and all u could type is "God is great.. Accident is not our portion.." so your god decided it was their portion to be trapped while doing their legitimate jobs? Clap hands for your god |

5am, that is when most Oil facilities fire normally start. Why? People in the kitchen making breakfast typically start off those fires. I have experienced one before. Not a good situation to find one's self. |

I was onboard, every one was rescued, but some people had to be kept back to safeguard the facility, the fire was put off successfully by agip rescue and community boys and some of our staff who were left behind, nobody is trapped and the accommodation part of the facility was not affected. 6 Likes |

sean1000x: You're very ignorant of how oil companies operate. If the FG gave you an oil block on a platter today, I can bet that it will be useless to you, because your pathetic broke self doesn't just have the financial muscles to carry out exploration and production activities. 5 Likes |
