(Here’s a scenario where S4W’s early warning perimeter security solutions would have helped deter unauthorized access and could have notified the companies AND the police of the illegal activity IMMEDIATELY!)
Vandals caused upwards of $1 million of damage Monday and Tuesday by releasing large amounts of oil and gas from tanks owned by three companies south of Kersey in Weld County. “When I was first alerted, I was told (damages) could top $1 million,” said Weld County Sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Shane Scofield. “That was on the lower side of figures told to me.” The Weld County Sheriff’s Office is investigating 17 known oil spills and one gas release from tanks owned by Noble Energy, Merit Energy and Aka Energy. According to reports, the releases occurred between 4 p.m. Monday and 5 a.m. Tuesday. Jonathan Ekstrom, spokesman for Noble Engery, said, “Currently, we’re fully committed to working with the authorities to conduct an investigation and to ensure that those responsible for these illegal actions aimed at harming the environment are held responsible.”
