Caspian oil well is pressurized
According to the Kazakhstan Emergency Situation Ministry, hermetization works on Pribrezhnoe oil well are finished.
The size of the oil spill, leaked out of this well, is 2.5 km on 10 metres. The well is pressured by temporary gap-closure, OilCapital reported.

There was no time for final conservation of the oil well. Nowadays the well stands for potential environmental risk.
