A major gas explosion lit up a remote West Texas town the morning of Dec. 3 as contractors at an Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: APC) facility evacuated, said Israel Campos, chief deputy at the Reeves County Sheriff’s Office.
No one was seriously injured.
Construction work is underway at the Ramsey Plant in Orla, Texas. However, the expansion to the plant is not tied in with any main lines, Campos said, adding that calls began coming into the sheriff’s office about 10 a.m.
He said two people suffered minor complaints, one from slipping and falling. The other injury was the result of an onlooker watching the flames for too long. “One of the guys was watching the fire,” Campos said, adding the person suffered the equivalent of a sun burn.
Anadarko spokesman John Christiansen said Anadarko was appreciative of the quick and comprehensive response of the local sheriff’s office and fire department and thankful all workers were are safe.
