The news article titled "Balanced News: Oil and Gas Companies Spill millions of gallons of wastewater in Texas" discusses the issue of produced water spills in Texas caused by oil and gas companies. These spills, which occur hundreds of times a year, have a significant impact on the environment and pose health risks. The Railroad Commission of Texas, responsible for regulating oil and gas drilling, has not adopted official guidelines for reporting and cleaning up these spills, leading to messy record-keeping and little enforcement. Over the decade from 2013 to 2022, more than 10,000 spills totaling over 148 million gallons of produced water were reported by oil and gas companies.
