Azeri workers rescued from oil platform fire in Caspian Sea - TV

http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-azerbaijan-accident-fire-idUKKBN0TN24Q20151204

Forty two workers have been rescued from an offshore oil platform that caught fire in Azerbaijan's sector of the Caspian Sea, Azeri independent TV ANS said on Friday.

Azeri state energy company SOCAR was not immediately available to comment.

SOCAR said earlier that the fire started after a gas pipeline on the platform was damaged in heavy wind. It said the rescue attempt was being complicated by a heavy storm.

One of the workers called a Reuters correspondent from the platform and said there were 84 people trapped. The worker did not want to be named.

SOCAR also said earlier that workers were missing after an accident at another offshore oil platform during the storm. A search-and-rescue operation was underway, it added.

Fourteen workers were killed in accidents on SOCAR's oil and gas platforms in 2014.

Structures collapsed at the offshore platform #441 of the Narimanovneft oil and gas production department on Oct. 23, according to an official message from Azerbaijan’s Sate Oil Company (SOCAR).

Following the incident, workers’ locker room on the platform fell onto a gas pipeline with a diameter of 700 millimeters, which caused a fire.

The Emergency Situations Ministry, the Vortex-5 fire ship and the vessels of the Caspian Sea Shipping Company are involved in extinguishing of the fire.

An investigation on the incident is underway.

I used to be a deck hand on a 220 ft, 500 ton, 12,000 HP supply boat (big tug) taking supplies to an offshore oil rig stationed about 30 miles offshore (abeam) of mount st Elias. Rough water in that neck of the pacific.
The seas were so bad one time that we had to take a 30,000 lb (15 ton) anchor to the rig because it started to drift.
The amount of "incidents" indicated in the two above posts strikes me as being way too many. Those kind of numbers would cause an emmediate shutdown and qualities procedural evaluation by operator co. up here in Alaska.

Fighting Again Escalates In Karabakh

An Armenian soldier was killed by Azerbaijani forces in Nagorno-Karabakh early on Friday just hours after the United States, Russia and France urged the conflicting parties “in the strongest possible terms” to avoid ceasefire violations.

The Karabakh Defense Army said the 20-year-old soldier, Erik Grigorian, was shot dead in an overnight Azerbaijani commando attack on its frontline positions in Karabakh’s north. It said Azerbaijani forces also violated the ceasefire regime by firing 240 mortar shells and several rockets at various sections of “the line of contact” around Karabakh.

In a statement, the Armenian-backed army added that its frontline troops are taking “punitive actions to suppress the aggressive enemy activity.”

Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry claimed the opposite, however, saying that Armenian forces themselves attacked Azerbaijani positions and suffered “big losses” as a result. It said one of its servicemen, a warrant officer, was lightly wounded in the firefight.

According to news reports from Baku, two Azerbaijani soldiers were killed on the Karabakh frontline earlier this week. The Azerbaijani military confirmed only one of those combat casualties: Fariz Novruzov. He too was a warrant officer serving on a contractual basis.

Armenian and Azerbaijani commando units mainly consist of contract soldiers.

Late on Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and a senior French official issued a joint statement expressing serious concern at this year’s “significant escalation in violence” on the Armenian-Azerbaijani frontlines. “We appeal to the sides in the strongest possible terms to reduce tensions and protect lives,” they said.

Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian condemned the ensuing deadly incident in Karabakh as “Baku’s response” to the mediating powers. He insisted that Kerry’s and Lavrov’s appeal was primarily addressed to the Azerbaijani side.

“Who is threatening to use force and restart war? Armenia? We’ve never done that,” Nalbandian told reporters in Belgrade. He argued that Baku also continues to reject the mediators’ proposal to set up a mechanism for international investigations into truce violations in the conflict zone.

Nalbandian further announced that the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will meet later this month. But he gave no specific dates or venues for the meeting which the mediators hope will revive the Karabakh peace process.
