Oil well in North Dakota out of control, leaking:
Blowout occurred late Thursday. Reuters report from Friday 4:22 PM said (well) "was leaking between 50 and 70 barrels per day of fracking fluid that contains chemicals, water and sand, a company spokesman said."

Local news report from Friday 6:01 PM says: "an oil spill near Watford City that's spewing 200 barrels of oil an hour."..."Lynn Helms with the Department of Mineral Resources says the bottom piece of a 3 part "blow out preventer" broke."
"Right now, he thinks the cold weather may have caused the piece to break."
Cold weather? in Fucking North Dakota? Shocking. Who are the clowns running this shit?
So, if the company says 50-70 barrels of fracking fluid per day, and local news and DMR rep says 200 barrels of oil per hour, what is the real amount and material being spilled? 50-70 barrels of 'fracking fluid' is a bit different than 4,800 barrels of crude oil.
