Some Oil Companies Clean Up After Ike DALLAS, TX (kccu-fm) - A Texas company estimates it lost more than 1,000 barrels of oil in two spills near where Hurricane Ike struck the hardest on the Texas coast.

Denbury Onshore LLC of Plano has filed initial reports with the Texas Railroad Commission saying 900 barrels of oil were spilled in one location and 143 barrels in another.

Both spills occurred in Chambers County, one of the areas most affected by Ike when it slammed the Texas coast with top winds of 110 mph last weekend.

Company officials said they believe neither spill will have a serious impact because most of the oil was dissipated in flood water. © Copyright 2009, kccu-fm
