layer covers the entire visible surface of the water within a radius
of 10-15 metres.' Picture: N1
The
discovery by a local resident was highlighted by local NI channel.
Reporter
Konstantin Scherbina, at the scene, said: 'In the middle of the
oily lake is sticking a valve.
'Oil
layer covers the entire visible surface of the water within a radius
of 10-15 metres.
'Along
the way, right on the surface lies a pipe, presumably the pipeline.
'The
oil spills extend approximately 100-150 metres from the valve along
the road in both directions.'

Some
200 metres away is another spill - 'the size of a small football
field'.
The
reporter ignited a piece of paper dipped in the oil, to show on
camera how it burned.
It
was unclear which oil company owned the 'rusty' pipeline, or what had
happened to cause the seepage.
The
leak follows another spill close to Nefteyugansk, a city of
123,000, when oil seeped into floodwater from the Ob River.
