Repsol spill
On March 24, Repsol Oil and Gas reported a wastewater spill at its Ugliuzza shale gas well pad in Bradford County, PA, initially estimated at 630 gallons but later revised to about 18,900 gallons. The release was traced to an improperly connected hose hanging over secondary containment, allowing wastewater to flow 1,143 feet through drainage features into Rockwell Creek. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspected the site on March 25 and cited multiple violations. Repsol and its contractor began recovery and containment efforts immediately, installing sumps and lining the basin. By April 6, the company reported recovering 166,729 gallons of contaminated fluid.
