First, I-94 is roughly 120 miles from Stanley, ND as the crow flies.
Second, armed convoys are not unusual from Minot AFB, considering there are missile silos in the Stanley area. I have seen those myself, but they have nothing to do with the oil industry.
Only one well on the pad is being drilled at any given time, at most two (extremely rare), so hitting something that would cause six wellbores separated by better than 1250 ft. laterally to "Gush out of control" simultaneously would indeed be a feat, and defy well documented reservoir characteristics in the Bakken.
If there was a six well blowout, I can guarantee the following: The Feds would not be the ones to shut the wells in. It would be news all over the region, whether in the papers or just on the grapevine. Bad news travels fast in the patch.
Until you come up with some sources, I will file this under completely undocumented bullshit.
This sort of fabricated garbage is best left to the more far out of the UFO sites.
I wrote that my business partner headed for I-94 from Stanley and went on I-94 in the direction of Bismarck. What's wrong with that?

Good nugget of information. Thank you. But I asked him if it was a military convoy because I have seen them too and he said no it was not a military convoy. He also said helicopters were circling around above and they were not military helicopters. I will quiz him more when he gets back home.

I never said there was one more than one well on a pad. I said it was reported to be a 6 pad well setup, the largest in the entire region. But this was not observed by my business partner but came from a respected person who is well known in the region since 1993. But I admit all messages not directly heard can be garbled and I commented to that fact in a previous post.

No one ever said that federal agents physically shut the wells. It is reported they took control or jurisdiction of the wells and I asked the question are they allowed to do that? It was reported the drillers had not expected any gushing and that it was out of control for awhile but they managed to get it under control, Then it was reported that federal agents came in and took over. All this information is spotty. It is the convoy observation that is more clear.
Okay, pal, this is not just another bullshit hit piece on the oil industry, but now you are trying to crap on my home turf.
You need to change your tone and attitude. We only need civil discussion here. You contributed some useful information but I am recommending for the future you erase the uncivil comments. They have no place here.
