Kingfisher, Oklahoma (US):
Experts were analyzing the composition of natural gas shooting to the surface along a creek in a rural area of central Oklahoma in hopes of discovering its origin and determining what can be done to prevent the explosive vapors from reaching the surface.
Gas geysers continued to occur Tuesday along a five-mile section of Winter Camp Creek and were within about a mile of the town of Kingfisher, authorities said.Hunters first noticed the leak, which includes geysers that blow water and mud 10 feet in the air, on Friday and told a game warden who notified the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the state agency that regulates utilities and oil drilling activities.
It's possible the leak is related to some undetermined drilling or gas production activities. For a time, the leaks appeared to be advancing toward Kingfisher, but this migration appears to have stopped.
