This is the dramatic moment an oil rig was engulfed in flames before collapsing at a Russian oil field.

Footage shows a towering inferno consuming part of the site, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky before a massive structure collapsed on Saturday, May 10.

The incident took place at the Kharampurneftegaz oil field in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a major hub for Russia's energy production.

Emergency crews quickly responded, working to contain the fire and secure the area.

Three individuals were reportedly injured in the blaze. Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the incident.
