Rock Slide Blamed For Gas Blowout In Marion County
A rock slide deep in the earth caused Marion County's second gas blowout in 60 days. In the Jefferson-Rodessa gas field, a well 38 feet deep spewed gas and threw dirt high, destroying about 265,000 in drilling gear. A crater 49 feet wide formed as 3,000,600 cubic feet of gas escaped daily through the grill pipe. Petrologist Dave Flesh linked the event to underground formation movement and possible casing leaks.
