A “limited fire” broke out on Monday at the Kuwait Oil Co’s Greater Burgan field, injuring two workers but with no impact on production, the state news agency KUNA reported, citing Qusai al-Amer, the Kuwait Oil Company spokesman.
The fire was quickly brought under control, it said. The injured workers were in stable condition and receiving treatment at a nearby hospital.
The blaze at the Great Burgan Field in the south-eastern desert of Kuwait, which produces over 1.6 million barrels of oil a day, did not impact production, the report said. Burgan is among the world's largest producing fields, ranked second only to Saudi Arabia's Ghawar Field.
