Latest from Bob Christie: Crews preparing to shut down blown-out well January 8, 1999 The Bakersfield Californian 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. If the procedure works, a relief well now passing 12,000 feet will become a replacement well for the failed drilling effort. The 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. — Bob Christie
