NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) — An explosion at a Texas natural gas or oil well site set off a large fire that was seen for miles and led to some evacuations, but caused no injuries, authorities said Tuesday.
The Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office received numerous calls late Monday of a loud explosion in Etoile in eastern Texas, a small, rural community about 140 miles (225 kilometers) northeast of Houston.
The sheriff’s office said the explosion happened at an oil well site. The city of Nacogdoches, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) away, described it as a natural gas well, based on information it received from the Texas Department of Public Safety, city spokesperson Kevin Meyer said Tuesday.
Several residents evacuated as a precaution and others were asked to shelter in place.
The fire was still burning early Tuesday, but it was not spreading and was being monitored, Meyer said.

It looks like the usual hack accounts and chaos pushers got ahold of it recently and started pushing it out to the herd on Xwitter. Annoyingly, they manage to bury any legitimate reporting of such things on that platform.

That’s why they want you to believe.
But those on the inside know that Tommy is the real head of Exxon.

Trying to figure out exactly which will it is using the property block description in the sheriff department’s tweet and TX RRC GIS, but can’t seem to pin it down.
That said, based on the area, it’s probably much more a gas well rather than “oil well” as appears stated in the tweets. According to a TX RRC report for January 2026, Nacogdoches County produced only 268 bbls of oil that month, but something like 13.7 MCF of gas.
