I agree but this may be an exception. It may also be misreported.
But one thing is for sure, a large militarized federal convoy, not the US Army, was followed a day later on I-94 just outside the area of the reported strike.
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.
