| Title | Agreement State Report from State of New Mexico |
| Event Description | At approximately 2000 hrs MST on 3/11/04, the licensee, Baker-Hughes Oil Field Operations, was rigging a well with a well logging source (2.5 Ci of Cs-137) on a 90 foot tool string when the well started spewing natural gas. The location of the source is 4-6 feet below the rigging platform, which is approximately 15 feet tall, and around 8-10 feet above ground level. The area around the well was immediately evacuated.
Currently, a contractor team from the Cudd company is preparing to enter the well area to cap off the well. The contractor, local law enforcement and local fire department are aware of the source. The State of New Mexico will update this report when the event has concluded. |
