摘要

The Harouge Oil Operations petrochemical and refining complex at the Ras Lanuf Terminal in Libya averted a potential disaster after a storage tank housing 450,000 barrels of oil - one of 13 on the site - caught fire during routine maintenance.rnCalgary-based Petro-Canada - joint owner of the complex -immediately contacted Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) in Southampton, UK, to urgently source and deliver 200,000 litres of 3% foam concentrate (in accordance with the site's risk assessment requirement) in case the fire developed into a major incident.
