    Either that, or something popped, caught fire, and they all bailed before it really went up lol

    Edit: "Fire at Pertamina's Balongan oil refinery will not impact operations: CEO" wild, i guess only the tank farm took damage.

    I’m sure the rest of the refinery will be just fine after being exposed to the surface of the sun for a few hours.

    Oil companies never lie. Just like cigarette companies.

    well it was 00:30 in the morning, and in the middle of a major thunderstorm.

    Last time I worked at an upgrader - we got shut down when the lightning detectors started going off. Dunno if that's how it works in malaysia...

    LoL!
    I recall being ordered inside either 3 or 4 times during one night shift at a refinery shutdown. It was ludicrous.
    I think they "recalibrated the detection system" after that. They basically lost an entire shift of a shutdown that was only scheduled to be about 4 weeks. Big big dollars.

    Whether they truly care about peoples lives or not is up for debate. But killing people on site does cost them a lot of money, so they do take it seriously. You don't want some pipefitter getting struck by lightening up on a structure, that'll delay things a lot more than a day of lightening interuptions.
