Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC) is making significant strides in subduing and capping Well Mori#5, which is operated by PEC contractor M/s Deep Industries Ltd. The Crisis Management Team has successfully cleared a majority of the debris from the wellsite, enabling access to the wellhead area. Key structural obstructions, including portions of the mast and associated equipment, have been removed, allowing operations to progress towards capping of the well. All essential equipment and materials required for expediting the operations have been mobilised to the site. A continuous water blanket is being maintained to facilitate safe operations in the vicinity of the wellhead. The stabilised conditions have allowed residents in the surrounding areas to resume their normal routines. ONGC’s Crisis Management Team is strictly adhering to all prescribed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), with all activities being carried out in close coordination with the local administration.
