Fire breaks out at Gazprom plant: press
A fire broke out on August 25 at the Orenburg gas processing plant run by Russia's Gazprom, resulting in three people getting injured, the company told the Russian press.
The fire occurred at 11:25 local time during maintenance work, Gazprom said. The plant, which handles gas supplies not only from local Russian fields but also the giant Karachaganak field in neighbouring Kazakhstan, resumed normal operations later in the day, Gazprom was quoted as saying by Reuters.

The incident comes weeks after a fire occurred at Gazprom's gas condensate treatment plant in west Siberia, resulting in a drop in Russian exports of gas and condensate. A fire also broke out at Gazprom's Urengoy-Center 2 gas pipeline carrying Siberian gas to central Russia in late July.
