Oil tanks catch fire at Noble well in the Permian

 

There were no injuries when a series of oil tanks caught fire overnight near a Noble Energy well site in West Texas' booming Permian Basin.

Three oil production tanks went ablaze at about 3:45 a.m. Wednesday in Reeves County. The emergency shutdown system from the well feeding the tanks was activated. The Reeves County Fire Department responded and secured the area.

Houston-based Noble said it is isolating the wells that feed into the nearby pipeline systems to ensure the integrity of the oil-gathering pipelines.

The company said it will conduct an investigation to determine the fire's cause.
