They evacuated the workers from the location in order to ensure their safety before they controlled the incident. The KOC's maintenance teams immediately isolated gas pipelines in the vicinity with a view to managing the gas leak and repairing the leaked pipeline, it said. Hydrogen sulfide rates were totally safe, the company reassured.
