Gas Blowout Near Burleson County Well Sparks Eyewitness Reports
A well on the W. C. Boyett farm in Burleson County blew in Saturday morning sending gas sand and material 150 to 200 feet above an 85 foot derrick. Some saw oil traces while others saw none. Driller Claude Nail reportedly heard a rumble before the blast. One crewman, John Mott, jumped to safety with bruises. The well, 1,800 feet deep with 1,200 feet cased, may be abandoned or re-spudded within a week as officials assess conditions beneath the casing. Local residents toured the site Sunday amid varying accounts.
