Update: Chevron Well Fire in Greene County Still Burning

The explosion/fire began around 6:45 am Tuesday (see Explosion & Fire at Chevron Well in SWPA – 1 Person Missing). The update is that the fire still burns--out of control--although it hasn't spread to several other wells on the same well pad, yet.

Below are a few more select bits of information along with the four updates provided thus far from Chevron itself about the accident:
