Produced water pouring out of a 300-foot crevice in Crane County just south of Highway 329 was first reported on December 7, 2023, about 400 yards away from an abandoned oil well that erupted in a 200-foot geyser in January 2022 –– the Texas Railroad Commission reported that it had stopped the flow about six months later.
