A production fluid spill occurred at the Dr. Bob Smith gas well site on the morning of July 14. The spill occurred due to a failed line connection transporting produced water to temporary storage tanks. The operator of the site, Williams Production, reported the spill to the Town of Flower Mound and the Texas Railroad Commission (TRCC), and immediately began cleanup activities. The Town and the TRCC responded to the site and the required TRCC forms are in the process of being submitted. Williams estimated that approximately 400 barrels were spilled, and 329 barrels were recovered immediately after the spill. Impacted soils are required to be removed from the area. There was no surface water impacted from the spill. A complete incident report is required to be submitted to the Town of Flower Mound within 30 days.
