oil well control specialist Hawk DunlapReuters

Oil well control specialist Hawk Dunlap has documented a flurry of oil well blow-outs and leaks across West Texas .
Dunlap , a three-decade veteran of oil fields around the globe, has become one of its most vocal critics.
The Railroad Commission (RRC) is the regulatory body that, despite its name, oversees oil and gas operations in Texas .
EPA says it will investigate whether to revoke RRC’s permitting authority for waste disposal wells.
Deep injections of wastewater have triggered earthquakes, which has led to the RRC restricting new drilling permits in some areas.
Shallower injections, however, overpressure the subsurface, causing poorly plugged wells to leak or blow.
The RRC pushed back on the assertion that the problem is widespread.
