Have you been fooled - into thinking that oil and gas operators are CLEAN and RESPONSIBLE?
For the next 6 months, we will bring you #LeakOfTheWeek, highlighting weekly oil and gas spills in the fasting growing oil state in the country – #NewMexico – where companies spill oil and toxic waste an average 4 times every single day.
Just last month, XTO Energy – a subsidiary of Exxon Mobile – spilled 630 gallons of oil on public land in Eddy County, NM. The cause? Corrosion on a piece of equipment, which was preventable had XTO been taking care of its well site.
