The blow out happened last week at a drilling rig north of Barstow. The Ward County Sheriff's Office responded and had to close County Road 146 -- which runs adjacent to the road where the well is located. Devon Energy was able to cap the well by today.
Devon says now that the well is capped, they will begin working to figure out exactly what caused the blow out.
