It lost control of its Farley 1305H well in Washington County, OH, last year as well. The blowout is the second for Magnum in Ohio. McCorkle said specialists from Wild Well Control arrived on the scene late Saturday and were still working to clear the pad of equipment on Monday so they could begin their work.
Residents were allowed to return on Sunday, but they have been asked to leave at night until the well is brought under control. She said 25 homes were evacuated on Saturday. Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) spokeswoman Bethany McCorkle said local authorities evacuated residents living within a 1.5-mile radius of the well. The company added that both field personnel and residents living in the immediate area had been evacuated. No injuries were reported in the incident, which Magnum said occurred at 2 p.m.
