While this article
(https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/cenovus-dealing-with-uncontrolled-release-at-oil-well-near-lloydminster-1.7533585)
states little, I have second hand information that they cracked the caprock layer of the formation, and that the leak is therefore not contained to a small area, but that produced water is surfacing in nearby fields.

I can only find the 1 article on the event.
Does anyone know more?

These are the threads we deserve.

Sadly I do not know more anon, but I appreciate your concern. Here is a bump for your efforts.

>>510898244
Ty anon.
Google seems to suppress results.
This may be huge.
Groundwater will be contaminated.

>>510898136 (OP)
More environmental disasters with no consequences, eh?

>>510898342
While Cenovus will try to bribe their way out of this, if true, the government could easily bankrupt them.

Oh I forgot you actually live in a civilized country.

While Canadian oil and gas is cleaner than most, Canada is still a shit country.

I'm thinking they will try to inject gel to control the leak. They typically use gel to move fluid underground.

It's leaps and bounds above what America has become. You cannot comprehend the vileness of the average American.

>>510898342
well you see goyim, it’s climate change

They are injecting steam, and I found videos of multiple releases. Second hand information, I hear these release spots span miles.
I believe it's the Mannville Group formations, about 400m deep.

They look a bit like this now. The open mines only have a few billion barrels while the deeper reserves are in the trillions.

I always appreciate how the CBC loves to shill politically expedient stories at politically expedient times. Canada needs to end and boomer libtards need to pass away from old age peacefully.

Kek you don't remember that oil spill that happened in Alaska in the 80s took like 30y to clean up and still fucks shit up to this day.

The drilling in the Artic National wildlife refuge dispite the gas and oil offshore there is another interesting topic as global warming heats up, you just have no idea the amount of resources and shit in North America our technology can now find and reach and reclaim compared to mines and pickaxes nowadays. They have drones that see underground and can find diamond nodes...

>>510899605
Meanwhile, this exact situation 80 years ago at the Leduc 1 drilling rig has everyone cheering and celebrating all the money that was raining down from the sky.


Saskatchewan oil, with established Alberta industry and support will create the economic powerhouse as envisioned by Ralph Klein when he held the paid in full sign above his head and beer was less than 1$, but in current year it's an environmental disaster and everything is flammable now.

>>510900426
In the artic you can see bitumen naturally occurring in some recessions out on the land. I know one community has a few strange spots that always pool up with black liquid from the ground.

They also have diamond geodes in the streams but throw them into the sea because they don't want people to come there kek.

>>510901294
Shill
Stick to plebbit

>>510902984
Drill, baby drill

>>510903099
There are lots of shills minimizing this issue.

so is oil biotic or abiotic, /pol/? what do you think?

>>510901087
Exxon Valdez. Captain of ship was drunk.
>t. Alaskan

>>510901451
Oil comes from the earth but we're supposed to worry about it destroying the earth lmao

>>510901087
I call bullshit on your tldr. More like thirsty lobby groups keep the spill alive so they can grift.

>>510903985
>why not both

>>510904647
It's that it's in the groundwater.
Also, this is geothermal oil. The steam is injected at temperatures 100 Celsius above wood's ignition temperature.

Near Fort McMurray, Suncor has probes in the ground to monitor temperatures. Sidenote, years ago they tried to find unmarked/unplugged wells that they drilled, in the case steam escapes. They didn't find them all...

Regarding liability and loss, work in the local formation will be affected/impossible, which reduces asset valuations.

Stock dipped from 20 to 15 when the incident occurred

This is why the West doesn't have an economy. China would walk it off, put a little water on it. Mine rare earth minerals by hand, stack the dead out of sight, we need OIL more than health. Shut this social media down.

>>510898136 (OP)
oil and gas fag here. an uncontrolled release. can be as little as 1 bbls of oil, since this article is from may im sure its fine. also the oil is not really a concern since it can be cleaned up relatively easy, it the production water that is the problem. it is full of salt (nacl & mgcl) and is 10x more saltier than ocean water, the smell from pumping water downhole to kill it is from organic matter being introduced turning the well sour (h2s). sounds like poor training, the employee who said they had lost control of the well is a moron, my ICS training taught me to never ever say you've lost control. also exatracting oil with steam is a great idea, will have to look into it, sounds like they are fracking with steam.

>>510907724
Also oil/has fag here.
It's not really the well that's leaking, it seems to be the caprock.

>>510907724
>fracking with steam
Likely, but likely unintentional, these are SAGD projects.

>>510907724
I remember when they tried fracking with propane lmao. I mean why not what's the worst that can happen?

>>510908237
Yeah, lots of chance for surface ignition.
Did they try to inject it as liquid?

>>510908237
have you ever heard of gas lift? its where they inject natural gas into the tubing downhole to lower the weight of the fuild column and allow downhole pressure to lift the emulsion. its actually a very efficient way to produce oil. tubing will last 5+ yrs. it is big in north dakota.

>>510907897
>caprock
where are you getting this info, from what the article says i dont think it is a conventional well?

>>510908237
you have to complete the fire teiangle for it to be hazardous and there is not oxygen underground. flamable gas is not even a concern on an oil pad. most new weĺls come in at 5000psi and are full of gas.

>>510909027
>conventional well
No, it's geothermal.
>info

>how you know it's not a single well (near surface) or a deep wellbore issue (casing/cement)?
It could be, HOWEVER I have people (in the area) tell me the water is surfacing kilometers apart.

Really depends on formation. Lots of shallow wells don't have any surface pressure, even when new.

How much oil drilling is done on land and sea?

>>510898136 (OP)
Oh, no! Somebody think of the bedrock!
