    The document discusses where oil fires can occur, their effects, and examples of past oil fire accidents. Oil fires can happen at oil fields, storage facilities, during household activities, from oil well fires caused by accidents or natural events like lightning, and from deepwater oil rig explosions. Effects include loss of crude oil, economic losses, and ecological problems. Examples highlighted are the 1988 Piper Alpha platform disaster in the North Sea and the 1991 Kuwait oil fires, as well as the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion. Proper risk control measures involving physical protection systems, procedural protections like emergency plans, and educational protections through training could help prevent such losses in the future.
