(NY Times investigative reporting at its best.)
WILLISTON, N.D. — In early August 2013, Arlene Skurupey of Blacksburg,
Va., got an animated call from the normally taciturn farmer who rents
her family land in Billings County, N.D. There had been an accident at
the Skurupey 1-9H oil well. “Oh, my gosh, the gold is blowing,” she said
he told her. “Bakken gold.”
It was the 11th blowout since 2006 at a North Dakota well operated by
Continental Resources, the most prolific producer in the booming Bakken
oil patch. Spewing some 173,250 gallons of potential pollutants, the
eruption, undisclosed at the time, was serious enough to bring the
Oklahoma-based company’s chairman and chief executive, Harold G. Hamm,
to the remote scene.
