LOST HILLS - Crews working to stop the flow of natural gas, light oils and
water from a blown out well near this western Kern County town will try to
finally stop the uncontrolled flow on Monday.
A crew from Halliburton Co. will try to pump cement into the well to stop
the flow, said Jim Fox, principal of Driltek of Bakersfield, who is
supervising the control operations. It the procedure works, a relief well
now passing 12,000 feet will become a replacement well for the failed
drilling effort. The Halliburton crew is using a “snubbing unit,” which
allows access to out of control well bores, in the attempt.
The well, which blew out and caught fire Nov. 23, blazed for nearly two
weeks before water flowing from deep underground put out the fire. A
diverter assembly was then installed, and the water is being trucked off
and the gas flared.
