RESIDENTS of Silk Cotton Drive, Marabella protested at the entrance to NiQuan Energy Ltd’s gas-to-liquids plant on Thursday, reiterating their plea for dialogue with company officials after an explosion there.
On April 7, the hydrocracker system failed during an attempted startup and exploded. This led to a fire, which was contained by officers from the Mon Repos Fire Station.
Some residents said their windows shattered and TVs had fallen and said they wanted compensation. Others were traumatised and called on NiQuan to communicate with them properly .
