I remember when this happened. Back then, I looked up the drilling permit for these two “test” wells and I found nothing in the permits that mentioned ANYTHING about what would happen after they drilled. No mention of capping, capturing oil—NOTHING. I am not familiar enough with oil drilling permits but I found this beyond disturbing.

The area of south Texas and I believe Louisiana along the area of refineries has been dubbed “Cancer Alley” for a reason.
