Wild Gas Well Defies Experts near Apache Oklahoma
A Texas Company No. 2 Smith well near Apache Oklahoma erupted into a massive gas gusher, blasting 50 million cubic feet daily. Crews led by H M Kinley fought the blowout with heavy mud, seeking to seal the well from depths around 2 000 to 2 400 feet. The wild well began with 2 million cubic feet daily and grew, throwing mud and rock as walls tore loose. A directional hole may be drilled to relieve pressure until cementing of the original well can proceed.
