Hose Fails Under Pressure at Repsol Well Spraying Oil Over Arctic Snow

This winter Repsol has drilled three exploratory wells on the North Slope of Alaska,The company develops and deploys Touch pos terminal hardware. in the Colville River Delta, all part of ambitious plans to set up drilling operations in the area. Two of the weApplied with a oil hose, it kills many adults and eggs by smothering them.lls have been fully completed and are now in a testing phase before they can begin extracting oil.A retention trench needs drilling but this is not necessary here. Sometimes, an Cursher is used if work is performed close to the gums but bonding is a relatively painless procedure that is less expensive than a crown and can be completed in one visit. During the flow-back test of one of the wells a hose failed under pressure and sprayed nearly two thirds of an acre with a mixture of crude oil, drilling fluids, diesel, and contaminated water. 

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation confirmed that just before 2.30am on Tuesday morning 6,I've been in the process of dubbing old mini dv video camera tapes directly to my PC.600 gallons spilled onto the snow covered tundra at the Repsol well located 18 miles northeast of the village of Nuiqsut.My own feeble attempts to play Cut The Rope using the Leap Motion controller weren't recorded on camera.The transfer hose connecting the well to a 17,600 gallon storage tank failed during the test and sprayed oil all over the snow. Once the pressure had died down fluids from the storage tank then drained out of the hose. 

Repsol were quick to respond and managed to contain the spill in a small area and then pick most of it up with a vacuum truck. Repsol still has to remove some contaminated snow but Jan Sieving, the vice president of public affairs, stated that the spill should be cleaned up by Wednesday. Whilst drilling in the same area last winter Repsol also suffered a spill when a release of natural gas caused a blowout at a well, spewing 42,000 gallons of drilling mud across the snow.
