To the General Public

As you know, on March 8 one of our wells blew out. Fortunately no lives were lost during the incident. The well was flowing at a fast rate, and strong winds caused the oil to spread roughly three miles. Attempts to minimize the damage were put in place, such as buildings, dykes, and digging pits. Unfortunately, those attempts were unsuccessful in containing the incident. The ERCB has stepped in and have begun digging relief wells to control the situation. We are confident that the incident should be resolved soon. We will continue working restlessly to restore normalcy.

We are taking all necessary precautions to insure an incident like this doesn’t occur again.
