A transformer feeding Saudi Aramco’s Berri gas plant caught fire on Monday, however the company maintains that there were no disruptions to gas supply as a result of the incident.
Aramco stated that emergency crews were at the scene in time to put out the electrical fire.
“As a precautionary measure, the Berri Gas Plant was taken off line, and it is planned to be back on line as soon as possible… Saudi Aramco emphasises that its gas supplies to the power and water plants will not be affected,” it said.
The Berri gas plant includes three new gas-oil separation plants, 10 upgraded offshore platforms and five new ones; 35 drilling islands and a 140-megawatt co-generation plant.
