Reference excerpt

On 4 December 2015, a deadly fire broke out in the northern part of platform No. 10 at the western section of the Gunashli oilfield operated by SOCAR in the Caspian Sea. The fire started, according to SOCAR, when a high-pressure subsea gas pipeline was damaged in a heavy storm. As a result of the fire, the platform, which had been in service since 1984, partially collapsed. Fire spread to several oil and gas wells. Production at all 28 wells (24 oil wells and 4 gas wells) connected to the platform was suspended, pipelines connecting the platform to the shore were closed, and electricity to the platform was cut off. Before the incident, the platform produced 920 tonnes of oil and 1.08 million cubic metres (38 million cubic feet) of gas per day. About 60% of the oil produced by SOCAR was transported through this platform. At the time of the incident, 63 workers were on the platform. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Azerbaijan, 12 workers are confirmed killed, 18 remained missing (as of December 2017), 33 were rescued; nine were hospitalized. According to SOCAR, workers went missing when a life boat with 34 people on board fell from the platform into the sea and was damaged after hitting piles of the platform. On 5 December, the Prosecutor General's Office launched a criminal investigation into the possible violation of fire safety rules. President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed an Order declaring 6 December 2015 a day of mourning for those who died in the incident.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Gunashli Platform No.10 fire

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Gunashli Platform No.10 fire claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Gunashli Platform No.10 fire before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Gunashli Platform No.10 fire ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Gunashli Platform No.10 fire

In research: Gunashli Platform No.10 fire appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Gunashli Platform No.10 fire in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Gunashli Platform No.10 fire is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2015 disasters in Azerbaijan, 2015 fires in Asia, 2015 in Azerbaijan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Gunashli Platform No.10 fire outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
