Chesapeake Blowout
This is probably about the last thing you need to have happen when your stock price is 50 cents and gas prices are not much higher than that.
Authorities are investigating the cause of an accident at a Chesapeake Energy oil well in Burleson County that left one person dead and three more injured.
Burleson County Sheriff's Department deputies were called out to a blow out at a Chesapeake Energy well off County Road 127 and FM 60 a couple miles southeast of Deanville just after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
A Chesapeake spokesman, Gordon Pennoyer, said in a statement that a contractor on the site was killed and the three injured workers were transported by helicopter to medical facilities in Houston and Austin.
Pennoyer said first responders and oil field emergency response specialist Boots & Coots were at the location.
