It's a depleted gas well that has been used for storage...you drill down to porous rock and pump the natural gas you want to store down to it...so you don't have big tanks above ground.

Nobody knows how to work with their hands anymore. Everyone is a pussy sitting behind a desk with zero mechanical aptitude.

They have to drill a relief well next to it until it is lower than the leak...Then they will plug it through the relief well.
