NNA - The maintenance teams of the Tripoli Oil Facilities, in cooperation with the firefighting units of the Benin-Al-Abdeh Civil Defense Center, managed to control the fire that broke out in the morning due to oil leaks from Iraq’s oil pipelines in the locality of Al-Abdeh.

The holes in the pipes were closed temporarily, until work is done to replace the worn-out connections in the pipelines which is the only way to radically eliminate the risk of these leakages.

Civil defense teams are currently working to cool the burning reed fields in the vicinity of these pipes, as a precaution for fear of renewed fire.
