“On 10 December of this year at approximately 8:10 p.m., a pipe of 5000 m (cubic) capacity (reservoir) siphon No. 20 in the Angrenneftebaza area froze and cracked due to the drop in air temperature. As a result, Ai-80 gasoline fuel (11,500 liters) was spilled. The accident was resolved by the workers of the plant at 8:45 p.m. on the same day. No one was seriously harmed.”
