Crude Spilling from Harvey
quote:
Flooding caused by Harvey has toppled two oil storage tanks in southern Texas, releasing about 30,000 gallons of crude oil, authorities said Wednesday. The spills in DeWitt County were reported by Burlington Resources Oil and Gas. They included a a 16,170-gallon (385 barrels) oil leak near the town of Westhoff and a 13,272-gallon (316 barrels) spill near Hochheim, around 150 miles west of Houston. It remained unclear if any of the leaked oil was recovered. There was also reportedly an 8,500-gallon (200 barrels) spill of wastewater. The company, a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, has reportedly not yet addressed the situation. More damage was expected once the water level recedes, authorities said.

Around 700 barrels or so and storage tanks on eagle ford or Austin chalk wells. Unfortunate but not likely to become a big deal especially that far inland. Per the usual the media reports the big gallon number for shock value.

Not a very big deal to be honest.

700 barrels isn't really that much. A good well can produce that in a day. Some even more.

That will be easy to clean up since it's inland. It will look a lot worse than it really is as just a few gallons of oil sitting on water can look like several barrels.

pretty sure oil spill recovery comes secondary to human lives.

there are companies that specialize in oil spill cleanups. A company like Oil Mop is probably already on the scene and has it contained then will start the cleanup process

Seeing dollar signs no doubt. These guys are good at what they do. Not a huge deal all things considered

This is great news for people like me with a fetish for ladies washing ducks with dawn.

Im in the biz. In fairness, they have no fricking idea yet how much spillage they have in most these area and may not have a full understanding for another week. OSRO's are not on the scene in many cases bc it is simply not feasible and/or still a rescue mission.
