KEENE, N.D. (AP) - A tank leaked 10,500 gallons of brine at a well in McKenzie County, the North Dakota Oil and Gas Division said.
Petro-Hunt operates the well, located about 10 miles north of Keene. The company says 250 barrels of brine were released Wednesday because of a tank leak. The spill was contained by dikes on site.
A state inspector has been to the location and will monitor cleanup. Brine is a byproduct of oil production.
