Seems unlikely that chemicals would not be released

“Officials work to determine whether any chemicals were released into the air or what type of chemical was on fire.”

Any producer or carrier of chemicals is usually meant to have a manifest readily available of what hazardous materials are present in a location.

Meanwhile comrade Dyatlov has ordered you to go visually inspect the core.

Well, that’s strange.

This location is in an area where there is a lot of wastewater injection by the oil industry. Water used for fracking is recovered in the drilling operation and, if not suitable for further use, is disposed in permitted deep injection wells. The volume is such that magnitude 2.3-2.5 earthquakes occur every few days. This is just a larger one in the same area. Better to have this in very remote rural areas than near cities like Midland and Odessa.
