Chevron says one of its rigs off the coast of Nigeria has caught fire and officials are still trying to account for all the workers.
The fire reportedly started early Monday morning. The rig was located offshore near Nigeria’s oil-rich southern delta, and the company is still searching for all of the workers onboard.
Local people living near Chevron’s Funiwa oil facility in southeastern Nigeria reported an explosion, according to a report by Reuters.
Chevron did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding this story.
