Fire kills 1 after pipeline spill<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: A fire after an oil spill on a pipeline operated by
\nConocoPhillips in Indonesia's southern Sumatra killed one man
\nthree days ago, the Oil and Gas Implementing Body (BP Migas) said
\non Thursday.<\/p>\n
A leak in one of the three Tenpino-Sei Gerong pipelines --
\nwhich carry crude oil from fields operated by ConocoPhillips and
\nstate oil company PT Pertamina -- spilled about 18 barrels of
\ncrude oil, BP Migas' operations division head, Suhadi Sukama,
\nsaid. A fire burned a house around three meters from the pipeline
\nand killed one villager.<\/p>\n
\"We're investigating the cause of the accident,\" Suhadi said.
\n\"ConocoPhillips has so far collected 13 barrels of the spill. The
\nleak was repaired the next day and the section is now running at
\n50 percent capacity.\"<\/p>\n
The 250-kilometer-long pipelines carry about 20,000 barrels of
\ncrude oil per day from ConocoPhillips' Grissik and Ramba areas in
\nsouthern Sumatra to Pertamina's Plaju refinery. Pertamina owns
\nthe 68-year old pipelines and gets fees from ConocoPhillips for
\ntheir operation. -- AP<\/p>",
