ONGC Shuts Two Gas Fields After Pipeline Fire

State-controlled energy firm Oil & Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) has shut two gas fields in Andhra Pradesh after a pipeline fire killed more than two dozen people, its exploration chief said on Friday.

"Fields connected to the pipeline have been shut as the pipeline is closed because of the fire," N. K. Verma told Reuters.

It was not immediately clear how much production was affected.
