Overview of the current material recovery around the 7H wellhead, material is being piled for removal offsite (PA DEP)
Earlier this week, MDN brought you the news about an "uncontrolled release" of production fluid at a Repsol well in northeastern Pennsylvania (see Uncontrolled Release of Wastewater at Repsol Pad in Bradford County). The fluid escaped secondary containment and specially-constructed gravel berms set up and poured over into the surrounding environment at Repsol's 7H gas well on the Broadleaf Holdings pad in Troy Township, Bradford County. The uncontrolled release went on for 34 hours until a second plug was installed to stop the flow. Earlier this week, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) did a follow-up inspection. Fortunately, there have been no significant impacts on nearby streams.
