An apparent one, Siana Operating of Midland, Texas, which provides oilfield well-water disposal services, has drawn the attention of State Land Commissioner Aubrey Dunn for spills and environmental damage at an injection well site southwest of Eunice. That, in part, has caused Dunn to order a sweeping review of public land easements and leases for about 60 wells on state trust land that dispose of waste saltwater from the drilling process.
