Storage Well Leak Fix in Cambria County Failed, Leaked 1.4 Bcf

| | | | | |

On Friday, MDN reported that one of the ten natural gas storage wells at the Equitrans Rager Mountain Gas Storage Area in Jackson Township, Cambria County (in Pennsylvania) that was leaking roughly 100 MMcf/d of gas had finally been plugged (see “Massive” Gas Storage Well Leak in Cambria County Finally Plugged). Not so fast. Friday morning, nearby residents once again heard the telltale roaring sound and smell of gas. The well began to leak again. It took a specialist company, Cudd Well Control, until Sunday (another two days) to finally get the leak stopped and concrete poured into the hole to permanently plug the leak.
