A fire broke out on a platform at Iran's South Pars gas field, prompting its evacuation, the country's deputy oil minister said, the Fars news agency reports.
"The situation on the platform is completely under control, but it has been fully evacuated to ensure the safety of engineers," the official said.
The platform produces 14.5 million cubic meters of gas out of more than 700 million cubic meters produced at South Pars, the official added.
The cause of the fire was under investigation, the official said.
