BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Health officials say two oil spills have been reported in western North Dakota, the largest of them involving nearly 300 barrels.
The North Dakota Department of Health says one spill was reported at a well site about eight miles east of Williston. Some of the 300 barrels of crude oil released sprayed off the location onto agricultural land.
Zavanna, LLC owns that site. The company says about 295 barrels have been recovered from within the storage tank containment dike.
The second spill was reported around 20 miles northeast of Watford City. Officials say about 35 barrels were released, some of which sprayed off and reached a small, frozen pond.
Newfield Production Company owns the site. The company says it has recovered approximately 20 barrels.
Health officials are at both scenes.
