I though I read something a bit ago about a rig fire in Indonesia as well, but can’t find the article now.

No fire in Indonesia - just mud, lots of mud... Still flowing nonstop. Google Lapindo Mud Volcano... Lapindo (owned by 1st or 2nd richest family in Indonesia)blamed it on an earthquake a few days before but it was the fault of the drilling crew who lost the well. Probably could have been stopped but they wouldn’t listen to “western experts” and wanted to try to control the well “on the cheap” and lost it forever... They even tried to drop in concrete “cannon balls” on chains to stop it but with no success...
