The abandoned well is located southwest of Weld County Road 50 and Loma Vista Place near Johnstown.
WELD COUNTY, Colo. — Officials are on the scene of a natural gas well in Weld County after its plug failed Wednesday night.
The Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission said Thursday that emergency crews were at Sealock 1, a Barrett Resources well that was plugged and abandoned in 1993, located southwest of the intersection of Weld County Road 50 and Loma Vista Place near Johnstown.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has deployed its mobile monitor lab.
The lab drove by residences near the well to collect samples, and also collected samples within 50 feet of the well. The samples did not show benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, or xylene (collectively known as BTEX) above the lab’s detection limits.
The commission said that a rig is expected to arrive on location Thursday to begin re-entry and plugging operations.
Anyone with health concerns can contact the state health department through its website or by calling 303-389-1687.
Complaints can be filed to the commission through its website or by calling 888-235-1101.
