Leaking Oil Well Could Be Plugged Soon

An oil well that's leaking natural gas in east-central Wyoming could be plugged soon. Chesapeake Energy says the work could begin as soon as this morning. A blowout at the well on Tuesday prompted 50 residents to evacuate amid concern that the gas could explode. Chesapeake says air sampling results at the site remain normal. It says residents can return home if they'd like or they can continue to stay in hotel rooms at the company's expense.
