- The blowout from an Oil India Limited (OIL)-owned well near Assam’s Dibru Saikhowa National Park caught fire on the fourteenth day of the gas leak.
- On May 27, the Baghjan 5 well in Assam’s Tinsukia district — located at a 900m aerial distance of the Dibru-Saikhowa National Park, and next to the Maguri-Motapung wetland — reported a blowout or a sudden, uncontrolled release of gas/oil.
- The incident occurred when two simultaneous operations were on at the site: servicing of the well-head, or the top portion of the well, and an operation to test a new sand in the same well.
