Fire on ONGC Mumbai High Platform Controlled; No Injuries Reported
A fire occurred on ONGC's NQG oil platform off Mumbai's coast due to a gas cooler finger rupture but was controlled within an hour without injuries. The NQG platform, part of the Mumbai High offshore field, processes natural gas, while the nearby NQO platform handles over 40,000 barrels of crude oil daily. ONGC confirmed the incident, stating operations remain unaffected. A shutdown of the NQO platform could result in a daily revenue loss of approximately Rs 4 crore.
