Yet another oil refinery fire in South Africa as opposition petroleum firms try outwit each other.

People are saying that a lack of maintenance of surrounding infrastructure as well as overall safety procedures at the Engen refinery in Durban South Africa has led to a serious explosion here in December 2020 where 7 workers were injured due to falling while evacuating and due to smoke inhalation.

The refinery is owned by South African oil company Engen and is listed as the second biggest in the country. It has a crude oil refining capacity of 120,000 barrels per day (bpd), according to Engen.

Second major refinery fire this year
