XTO well in Ohio still spewing natural gas three weeks after blowout
A Utica Shale well that XTO Energy Inc. and its contractors lost control of on February 15, 2018 was still spewing raw methane three weeks later in Ohio’s Belmont County.
About 24 people were working at the Schnegg pad in York Township when contractors lost control of the well as they were pulling plugs and finishing up completion operations. The well exploded and caught fire. It’s unclear what caused the incident, in which no one was hurt.
