Eni informs that during the drilling operations on the gas production platform of Temsah, operated by Petrobel on behalf of Eni/leoc, EGPC (Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation) and Bp, a fluid release occurred and subsequently the installation went on fire. The platform of Temsah is located in the Mediterranean Sea, about 60 km from Port Said in Egypt.

However, all the staff of the platform had been timely evacuated and without any casualty before the fire broke out.

The measures aimed to control the blow out have been promptly activated.
