At least two people are missing after a fire on an oil rig off in the Gulf of Mexico.<br/> <br />Officials say the fire started after crews working on the rig used the wrong kind of equipment.<br/> <br />The rig is owned by Black Elk Energy.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) JOHN HOFFMAN, CEO, BLACK ELK ENERGY, SAYING :<br/> <br />"What we know at this point is the line that was cut was supposed to be cut with a cold cutting device, non sparking device. Apparently the construction crew used a cutting torch that ignited vapors in the line which then ignited the tanks."<br/> <br />Officials say there was no oil flowing up to the platform, located about 17 miles off the coast of Louisiana, so there is little risk of a major oil spill.<br/> <br />11 people are being treated for injuries. No deaths have been reported so far.
