Interruption to West Firsby Oilfield production
The directors of Europa Oil & Gas would like to inform the market of an unexpected interruption to production from the West Firsby Oilfield. The production from the site is currently shut-in due to an engine fire early on Monday morning. There has been damage to engines and pumps but the emergency shutdown system activated and damage was contained within the engine bund. There were no injuries and no spill of oil.
The site has a spare engine and pump located in a separate bund which will be reinstated to get production back onstream. The site engineers are checking the shut-down system for this engine and installing new flow lines.
It is anticipated that production will restart within the next two weeks.
