A vibration that sheared off a bolt resulted in the release of 480 barrels of crude oil on Saturday, Dec. 7 in McKenzie County at an Encana subsidiary’s well site.
The spill was reported by Newfield Production Company at the Sturgeon 150-99-18-193H well (sic), which is located about 6 miles west of Watford City.
More at the link. I'm impressed. It is customary to report spills in "gallons." In this case it was reported in "bbls."All of the crude oil that was released was contained to the required dikes and berms around the facility.
In fact, the well is Sturgeon 150-99-18-19-3H:
- 35979, 2,461, Sturgeon 150-99-18-19-3H, Newfield (Encana), South Tobacco Garden, t7/19; cum 96K 10/39, 42K well;
