Enemy at our Roots Is the first quest you need to do to unlock the chain quests leading to the rare items from Report to the Denmother.
More likely a reference to the first Gulf war when the Iraqi had set hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells on fire.

What to do
Description
Your pump sabotage has caused pipes to break all over camp. The goblins are in a panic over the geysers, and it's about to get worse. Take the gathered explosives and use them to set the geysers aflame. We're going to do as much damage to the camp as we can, and keep that oil from being used to fuel shredders... or worse, Horde warships.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Is Your Oil Running?
Last time we had an oil leak this bad, the oil itself tried to get away! I don't know what does it, maybe all the demon goop floating around here, but when we get a big enough crude leak half of it globs together and tries to run away. That's profit trying to escape!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pikwik in Peril
What the heck is going on here? Foreman Pikwik should've shut the valves off by now. We can cap these leaks all day and if the central valve is off, we're just delaying an enormous explosion.
