Crews gain upper hand on natural gas well blowout and fire in northwestern Alta. (Gas-Well-Blowout)
|

HYTHE, Alta. _ A blowout and fire that erupted at a natural gas well in northwestern Alberta Feb. 24 have been capped.
Alberta´s Energy Resources Conservation Board says in a release that crews have regained control of the well after working for several days to stem the flow of gas from the site, about 19 kilometres northwest of Hythe.
The board says cement will be pumped down the well hole to ensure gas can´t start flowing again and abandonment of the site can get underway.
There were no reports of injuries during the blowout and no evacuations were ordered.
The energy company watchdog says there were no emissions of potentially deadly hydrogen sulphide gas, and that field inspectors will continue to monitor the site, which is licensed to Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ, CNQ.U).
The board also says it will investigate and issue a report on the blowout, which RCMP have said was not suspicious.
