Gas Well Repairs Halted By Approaching Storm

Corpus Christi (AP) – Repairs to a leaking gas well just off the Texas coast have been halted because of Tropical Storm Beta. The city of Corpus Christi says repairs to the well owned by Houston based Magellan E&P are temporarily “on hold” because of the approaching storm, and will resume when winds and waves subside. The unmanned well began spewing a plume of natural gas, condensate, and water on September 1. There were no injuries, and the city says air monitors have detected no contamination.
