The North Dakota Oil and Gas Division says a pipeline leak caused 4,050 barrels of brine to spill at a saltwater disposal well south of Williston.
The division said Monday Oasis Petroleum North America recovered the majority of the brine, which was contained on site.
Also, Murex Petroleum Corporation reported that 650 barrels of brine released due to a valve leak at a saltwater well southwest of Fortuna in Divide County Saturday. About 600 barrels have been recovered so far.
In Mountrail County, a valve leak also caused 300 barrels of brine to spill at a well southwest of New Town. All the product was recovered.
State inspectors were sent to the three sites to monitor cleanup.
