Team attempts to cap 1930s leaking gas well near Diamond Valley, Alberta, for third time.

The Orphan Well Association is attempting for the third time to cap a 1930s gas well leaking methane near Diamond Valley, Alberta. Previous attempts in 1996 and 2021 failed. The operation, expected to last two weeks, will use up to 20 trucks to transport equipment. While the leak is minor, equivalent to a barbecue's daily gas use, nearby residents have been notified, and safety measures are planned.
