MegaWest quickly caps gushing oil well

Friday, August 27, 2010

Sharp-eyed motorist Will Bishop spotted an unusual sight at the MegaWest Energy oil field just east of the Kansas state line at approximately 11 a.m., Thursday, oil gushing into the air. Jim Long, area superintendent for MegaWest, said that the oil "Came up a little hot," and surprised them. Long said the crew repaired the problem and said he could only guess at the amount of oil that leaked but estimated it at "around 10 barrels."

I think they afflicted me. Where do I go to file a claim for damages?

I wonder if Mega West cares about the "Little People" also.
