In coordination with local Obari municipality, Akakus Oil has worked with the local maintenance team in Al-Ghurayfah, some 25 kilometres east of Obari, to repair one of the main cables feeding the town’s electricity substation. A short-circuit resulting in a cable explosion led to power cuts to the town and the surrounding neighbourhood.
Some 300 metres of cabling were damaged by the cable. Obari municipality said that Akakus Oil had quicklyresponded to the emergency and managed to deal with the problem, thus ensuring a restoration of the local power supply.
