  A federal safety board on Tuesday shared findings of a devastating oil and gas well blowout that occurred three years ago in Burleson County.

  
  

  The incident, which occurred on January 29, 2020, resulted in the death of three contract workers and left a fourth severely injured.

  
  

  The Daniel H. Wendland 1-H well, operated by Oklahoma-based Chesapeake Energy, was the location of the deadly flash fire that was felt throughout Burleson County and neighboring communities.

  
  

  The U.S. Chemical Safety Board, in its comprehensive report, points to critical failures in the operation of the well, particularly in the areas of planning and research. The report also delves into the specifics of what went wrong, revealing the loss of well control triggered an uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons, followed by the escape of oil and gas from the well that quickly found an ignition source.
