I
am posting this verbatim from Facebook
Oil
well in North Dakota out of control, leaking
Blowout
occurred late Thursday. Reuters report from Friday 4:22 PM said
(well) "was leaking between 50 and 70 barrels per day of
fracking fluid that contains chemicals, water and sand, a company
spokesman said."

Local
news report from Friday 6:01 PM says: "an oil spill near Watford
City that's spewing 200 barrels of oil an hour."..."Lynn
Helms with the Department of Mineral Resources says the bottom piece
of a 3 part "blow out preventer" broke."
"Right
now, he thinks the cold weather may have caused the piece to break."
Cold
weather? in Fucking North Dakota? Shocking. Who are the clowns
running this shit?
So,
if the company says 50-70 barrels of fracking fluid per day, and
local news and DMR rep says 200 barrels of oil per hour, what is the
real amount and material being spilled? 50-70 barrels of 'fracking
fluid' is a bit different than 4,800 barrels of crude oil.

Picture
is representative of an oil well blowout, as it appears the
authorities do not allow the public / press within miles of an oil
well accident in ND.
