One small building is reported to have been set on fire during the incident. Several people were injured, but there are no reports of any deaths.

Coastal Energy  has announced the successful results of the  Bua Ban North A-11  well. The Bua Ban North A-11 was drilled as a delineation well for the Lower Miocene (M100) reservoir and as an appraisal well for the deeper Miocene reservoir (M500). Both reservoirs were encountered at the prognosed depths and contained better quality sands than encountered in the nearby A-01 well.
