Komi oil spill
2,000 cubic meters of oil might have leaked out from a pipeline owned by Lukoil-Komi.
The leakage at the Kyrtayel-Chikshinio pipeline in Russia’s northern Republic of Komi occurred on February 22th. When investigators from the prosecutors’ office in Komi travelled to the place the day after they found oil leaks in confined trench-like areas dug out along the pipeline in eight spots, reports Interfax. If all this data is confirmed, the accident can be called an ecological disaster,” the source in the Pechora inter-regional environmental prosecutor’s office told Interfax.
