| Spill Description: |
| While pulling production string with a work over rig the pipe got stuck in what is believed to be sand in the well. The rig pulled on the string when it suddenly released and the production string jumped and came out of hole approximately 12". The well was killed when the rams were activated. When this tubing came out of the well approximately 10 bbls of condensate blew out of the well under pressure and blew North misting a swath of ground inside the sound walls. The condensate mist blew over the sound walls outside of containment and covered approx. 1.75 acres of farmland directly north of the site. Apex environmental and cleanup crews are on location. The area that was sprayed will be scraped and disposed off. Top soil will be brought in to replace the soil removed. |
