The incident occurred in the evening of Friday, January 20th, 2023.

The company spokesperson Mercy Max-Ebibai informed the media that the well is reported to be releasing hydrocarbon to the environment with wildfire due to suspected vandalization and bunkering activity attempt on the Christmas Tree containment valves of the wellhead.

An oil-ladened wooden boat was initially observed in the vicinity and a loud bang was also reported.

This resulted in the fires drifting to two 2 wellheads but only one of the two is still aflame at the point of reporting. Akaso6LS fire has died out while Akaso15L is still on fire, the company said.
