RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: The ONGC has issued a clarification on spillage of oil at Erra.
A low pressure well in Sudapalem village of Bheemapalli panchayat in Uppalaguptam mandal of East Godavari district became active while performing a routine operation on Saturday.
During that time, a little quantity of oil spread over near the well. Immediately, ONGC engineers swung into action and closed the well.
