A">/>A fire on an oil platform in the Timor Sea is continuing to burn out of control.

The company responsible for the leaking oil well which is fuelling the fire remains tight-lipped about whether the latest attempt to plug the leak has been successful.

PTTEP Australasia had said it hoped to plug the leak today.

Gas and oil have been flowing from the site for more than 10 weeks.
