Powder Keg Gas Well Threatens Oark Area
A 40 acre tract around a newly opened gas well north of Oark is described as a powder keg as gas erupts through ground crevices. The well, brought in Sunday by Arkansas Oklahoma and Arkansas Louisiana gas companies, pumps an estimated 100,000,000 cubic feet daily. Fire risk is low due to isolation but 40 guards are posted to deter curious spectators and locals. Crevices vent pure gas, likened to Yellowstone Park, as crews toil all night to plug the well with mud and hulls. The well has 300 feet of steel casing and may take about four weeks to reach control.
