Chevron reports the fire in the ocean off Nigeria, blazing since their Funiwa-1A gas exploration well blowout occurred on January 16, finally went out on March 2. It's likely that the well "bridged over" and plugged itself, shutting off the flow of natural gas that had been feeding the fire, something every driller hopes for when they lose control of a well.
Work will continue on a relief well so that the failed Funiwa-1A well can be properly plugged and abandoned.
We don't see any signs of the fire on today's MODIS/Terra satellite image.
