bubbling well


...just want to share some pictures from the bubbling wells which was occurred in early 2007. This incident happened just right after the commisioning of the first Onshore snake well (part of North Flank Project) which was successfully producing oil for less than a week...after that well close due to sand...
Incident was happened on 3rd Jan 2007 and last for couple of months…Operation staff were informed bubbling found near one of the Tank group and the emergency team mobilized and closed in all wells adjacents to the area later closed in the rest of the wells within the vicinity including all injection wells. Sample were taken from the bubbling pond for LAB analysis and close monitoring were carried out until further investigation can be done. Report from the investigation team stated that the bubbling was a natural phenomena and it will stop and normalise after all the pressure from the gas pocket getting lower and lower..., whether true or not nobody knows…no media coverage…worrying that this might potentially cause or trigger public panic..??but for the sake of public safety, it a bit unfair if they are not well informed of any consequences arise..



..after the above bubbling had been normalise, couples of bubbling in other came out again in June 2008, the locations are shown below..and till today close monitoring still going on at this location and this of course delaying the progress of the renovation works which was carried out on the 7 flight operation centre..
