For The Record -- A McKenzie County Spill -- December 9, 2019

From The Williston Herald:
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.
All of the crude oil that was released was contained to the required dikes and berms around the facility.
More at the link. I'm impressed. It is customary to report spills in "gallons." In this case it was reported in "bbls."

In fact, the well is Sturgeon 150-99-18-19-3H:
