Karlino oil eruption
The Karlino oil eruption was an oil well blowout that took place on December 9, 1980, near Karlino, a town located in Pomerania in northern Poland, near the Baltic Sea coast. The eruption and the fire that followed it put an end to the hope of Poland becoming a "second Kuwait". It took more than a month for Polish, Soviet and Hungarian firefighters to completely extinguish the fire.〔(History of Gmina Karlino ) “The fire was finally brought under control on the night of 13 January”.〕 The eruption was the result of an extensive search for underground oil deposits that took place in the area in 1980.
== Background ==
In 1980, the town of Karlino became a symbol of Polish hopes for a "new Kuwait"〔(Karlino - sen o potędze, Radio RMF FM )〕 because of the discovery of oil deposits surrounding the town. At that time Poland was in a severe economic crisis, foreign debt was mounting, and both the Communist authorities and the nation hoped to be able to sell oil from Karlino to the West and pay off the debt with the proceeds. The oil deposits took on a symbolic role as a further sign of a better future, after the election of John Paul II and the creation of Solidarity.〔(KARLINO - MARZENIA O WIELKIEJ ROPIE, Monday, January 24 2011 )〕 Among disappointed officials who visited the site after the fire were First Secretary of the Communist Party Stanisław Kania and Solidarity chairman Lech Wałęsa.
