Here is an update:

This is a correction to our previous message asking for information on the ‘Oil Rig Fire”  reported by KOCO TV  as near Kingfisher, Oklahoma. Others are now reporting that this is thankfully just a tank battery fire.
Thanks to all that have sent the corrected information to us!

    The drillers constantly tell us they know what they are doing so with the rash of fires I must conclude either these fires are intentional set (for insurance?) or they are liars?

    Continental Resources location. Fire from rifle bullet to the tank. Arson investigation underway.

        Not sure arson is the correct way to express “enough” tho?

          Nope, it’s not the correct way at all but it is not surprising at all either.

    There was nothing “drilling” here. Someone decided that shooting a bullet into a stock tank was somehow justified…Really?
