About 150 Gallons Of Crude Oil Released From Facility Near Century
October 27, 2019
An water and oil leak occurred Friday at a production line about four miles northeast of Century in Escambia County.
According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the release occurred at the Maze Header Production Line in extreme northeastern Escambia County, Florida, just south of Alabama/Florida state line. An estimated 171.5 barrels (7,203 gallons) of produced water and 3.5 barrels (147 gallons) of crude oil were released from the facility operated by the St. Regis Gas Treating Facility.
FDEP said Saturday that the field operator identified the leak and immediately started line isolation and called for assistance. A vacuum truck was called to remove the produced water and oil from the release site. The line will be blinded, clamped and flushed with fresh water in preparation for inspection and repairs. All impacted soil will be removed and disposed of at an approved landfill.

Honestly– it appears the situation was handled efficiently and successfully.
Good job!
well atom, we had better find something to replace crude oil. there is a limited supply after all. to think about and suggest another option is a pretty good definition of the opposite of ignorance.
phillip for a better understanding of the definition of ignorance.
phillip for always getting my comments censored.
Well Steve with that intelligent remark please lead the way. There is nothing that can replace crude oil and the benefits it gives us. To even think about “another source” is, at best, ignorant.
I just love reading the comments of David Huie Green. He can be funny at times but mostly enlightening .
fisherman for more (David Huie Green)
REGARDING:
“we should absolutely find other ways to acquire energy!”
We have found many other ways to acquire energy. Somebody is opposed to each and every one of them. Coal was better than cutting down all trees. Petroleum was better than sending men and children down in coal mines. Natural gas is cleaner than petroleum. Hydroelectric retards fish migration and reproduction. Solar involves toxic elements and is intermittent. Wind blocks views and kills big birds and is intermittent. Hydraulic fracturing releases bound hydrocarbons but sometimes causes tiny earthquakes. Nuclear can create toxic messes if poorly designed and operated. Geothermal can cause tiny earthquakes. Fusion is ten years away and had been since the fifties
Meanwhile, this was a small spill, contained, and cleaned up. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! … but maybe it isn’t.
David for nuclear power
Gee whiz, century and flomaton are just turning into a mess!
THATS THE WAY TO DO IT DO IT, THATS THE WAY TO DO IT DO IT.
Take care of business and clean up the mess. Good catch and Good job. just saying
As an intelligent society we should absolutely find other ways to acquire energy!
