CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — An explosion has killed three workers who had been laying a fuel line at a Wyoming oil storage site, an oil company spokesman said.
The blast at about 10 a.m. Monday near Glenrock, in a remote region of eastern Wyoming, sparked a 10-acre fire before it was brought under control, Samson Resources Co. spokesman Dennis Neill said. The fuel line where the blast victims had been working was intended to supply a heater treatment facility that separates oil from water as they're pumped out of the ground.
