Default Well Killed @ No Problem

It looks as though Mother Nature gave the Steve Kent team of oil well killers a break. At 1-am this morning, the well structure at 7,000 feet below the surface appears to have collapsed and there is no more flow out of the well. Plans are to continue drilling the relief well to complete the shut-in proceedure through the existing well casing.

The well is about one mile south of the track, and we were fortunate that the wind blew all of the oil & salt water away from the track and across highway 70. Looks like we will be closed for another week until they can get highway 70 reopened once they get all of Steve Kent's equipment and tanks moved off the the shoulder of the road.

Looks like we will be have everything in place for our Lucas Oil event next month. If only Steve Kent could help his driver Rodger Brogden as much as he did for us!
