In the last hour, two attacks have been conducted against #US and coalition forces, one at Al-Omar Oil Field in Deir Ez-Zor, #Syria and another against Ain Al-Assad Airbase, #Iraq.
At least 14 rockets fired towards Ain Al-Assad Airbase, 3 minor injuries.
An explosion has occurred at Jebel Ali Port, #Dubai, #UAE. Initial reports are of an incident involving an oil tanker, these reports aren’t currently confirmed.
Gantry crane does have DP World on it, so it does align with Jebel Ali Port
Unconfirmed reports are circulating of a fire aboard an #Israel|I Vessel in the Indian Ocean, the reports circulating are all sourcing from a single source it seems, @AlMayadeenNews. Al-Mayadeen talks of origin port being #Jeddah, #KSA and then arriving in #UAE.
Oddly, that’s that’s not the Indian Ocean, but none the less, here is the tweet from Al-Mayadeen.
Taking into account these reports Jeddah > UAE, Israeli Cargo Vessel, this comes to one at the moment in this area, CSAV TYNDALL, owned by Zodiac Maritime, which is managed by Eyal Ofer.
Of course, this could be completely incorrect, as the story is unconfirmed.
Thinking about this PEMEX incident more. 12 inch duct pipeline bursts/ruptures (was it complete instant failure or has it been gradual over a period of time?), the pressure created the column from the 100m/300ft depth. The column of gas would continue to be linear because they…
Closed the valves, ESD the platform and then would have blown down the pipeline to remove the gas in the system, to completely depressurise it *could* take several hours (fire reportedly burnt for around 5 which could align), eventually the blow down would have been neutralised
By the sea pressure at 100m/300ft depth, the fire itself would have extinguished at that point as gas would have stopped and the surface fire would die out. The vessels pumping water weren’t trying to put out the fire they were disrupting the water to keep the gas in a central
