According to the Ministry of Energy, an oil spill occurred at the “M-25” oil field in Boysun. To prevent further spread and protect the environment, additional containment ponds were built around the site and along the stream.
The collected oil is continuously transported to a special site. There, there are two isolated sludge ponds with a capacity of 5,000 cubic meters each, which allow safe storage of oil and its later efficient use.
According to the ministry, all work is being carried out in full compliance with current industrial and environmental safety requirements. Oil samples are being analyzed, and based on the results, the possibilities for processing will be studied. Geological studies are also ongoing.
Currently, the situation is under constant monitoring, and the oil has been contained. In the first days, cleanup work is being carried out for oil that entered the canal.
