A worker checking that well about an alarm was also killed. [158] October, 1998 – During heavy rainfall, the roof and sides of a Koch 50,000 barrel (2,100,000 gallon) above-ground storage tank buckled, discharging approximate 24,700 gallons of crude oil into Marcelinas Creek, which is a tributary of the San Antonio River.
BP (BP) re-capped its leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico after an accident involving an underwater robot forced the company to remove the cap. It was refitted over the leak late Wednesday on ...
The Soviets lowered a specially made 30 kiloton nuclear physics package into a 6-kilometre (20,000 ft) borehole drilled 25 to 50 metres (82 to 164 ft) away from the original (rapidly leaking) well. A nuclear explosive was deemed necessary because conventional explosives both lacked the necessary power and would also require a great deal more ...
A leak appearing within an analytic region (a rule added to the camera) is immediately analyzed for its attributes, including thermal temperature, size, and behaviour (e.g. spraying, pooling, spilling). When a leak is determined to be valid based on set parameters, an alarm notification with leak video is generated and sent to a monitoring station.
The leak is releasing up to 110,000 pounds of gas per hour. An underground well-casing might have failed, pushing the pressurized gas to the surface. Severe natural gas leak in Los Angeles County ...
A massive sinkhole has been leaking at least 215 million gallons of radioactive water into an aquifer in this state.
The result was 25 – 28 leaking well heads buried beneath the sea floor at approximately 475 feet (145 m) below the surface. [10] At the moment of capsizing, more than 600 barrels of crude oil, each containing 42 gallons, tumbled into the Gulf. The rig, leaking oil, was buried in 150 feet of mud. [4] [11] [10]
May 7 – A 125-tonne (276,000 lb) container dome is lowered over the largest of the well leaks and pipe the oil to a storage vessel on the surface. [54] May 8 – BP reports that methane is freezing at the top of the dome making it ineffective. [51] May 9 – Tar balls reported on Dauphin Island in Alabama.
