LONDON (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc said the fighting between Russian and Georgian troops in the breakaway region of South Ossetia hasn't disrupted crude transit flows across Georgia.

“It’s business as usual,” Tamam Bayatly, a Baku-based spokeswoman at BP, said by phone today. “The pipeline we have running across Georgia doesn't go near the conflict.” Bayatly did not know how many barrels of oil the pipeline pumps through the country a day. BP’s head office in London did not immediately respond to a voicemail asking that question.
Russian tanks pushed into the separatist South Ossetia region and, by morning today, reinforcements backed by bombers and artillery had forced Georgian units out of the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali, the Defense Ministry said on its Web site.
Separately, a fire that’s closed the company’s Baku-Tbilisi- Ceyhan oil pipeline in eastern Turkey is still burning. Teams are preparing a strategy to extinguish the fire, Ebru Akdogan, a spokeswoman for BTC Co., said by phone on Sunday.
