Market Chatter: Encana Corp. Gas Well Blast Kills One, Injures Three in Colorado

By Midnight Trader,  August 16, 2012, 01:58:59 PM EDT

A high-pressure burst of natural gas at a well operated by Canadian energy giant Encana Corporation ( ECA ) in Colorado killed one man and injured three other workers on Wednesday, the company and local authorities said, the Financial Post reported.

The accident at the well in Platteville, Colorado, about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Denver, apparently resulted from an equipment failure, said Weld County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Tim Schwartz.

ECA shares have shaken off the bad news and are up 1%.
