Over 18,000 gallons of oil have leaked into Colorado’s South Platte and St. Vrain Rivers as historic flooding continues to wreak havoc upon the state.
One 5,250-gallon spill happened near Milliken, while a second, 13,500-gallon release happened near Platteville.
The leaking tanks are owned by Anadarko, which stated on Thursday that “there were no impacts to the environment due to our drilling or hydraulic fracturing activities.”
In addition to the oil leaks, Noble Energy reported “natural gas releases” from three of its wells, with one of those releases still not contained.
