Firestone house built in 2015 about 150 yards from a well drilled in 1993. Anadarko owns that well and about 3000 others in the area and they agreed to shut down all of the wells temporarily to conduct safety inspections while the investigation into the house explosion continues. At this point there is no evidence that links the wells with the explosion and it sounds like Anadarko is being proactive in their response. It doesn't stop the green/anti-fossil fuel crowd from marching forth with pitch forks and torches calling for the heads of all oil company executives.
