Blowout of Hydrocarbon and Brine

In 2012, the United States Forest Service began utilizing BioLynceus® treatment protocols for a parcel of land that was affected by a well blowout containing hydrocarbon, brine and heavy metals. In addition to the area directly adjacent to the well, wind carried these fluids across native grasslands downwind of the well site. Surface soils and vegetation were highly polluted with contaminants. Over 250 barrels of oil and brine were released from the blowout. Approximately 20 acres were contaminated by the uncontrolled release of these fluids, which contained high levels of salt and heavy metals.
