Diamond Crystal sued the state because Louisiana owns and leases land on which the drilling took place. The company claimed the state was responsible for keeping the mining and drilling operations safely separated, Guste said.

Since 1994, AGL Resources has used Lake Peigneur's underlying salt dome as a storage and hub facility for pressurized natural gas. There was concern from local residents in 2009 over the safety of storing the gas under the lake and nearby drilling operations.

I can understand the residents' concerns!
It's a podcast about engineering disasters (with slides) that I enjoy and share whenever I can :D
Update: oof yeah I just checked again now - 3 hours 4 minutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW6lg-7L7yk).
There are detailed maps and drawings of the mine works in this report. Also, there is a diagram [2] to be found in several places, apparently from Keller & Blodgett "Natural Hazards" (Prentice Hall.)

Simon joined TIFO without informing us, while still working as our narrator. And TIFO had long been poaching our articles, lazily rewriting our work and calling it their own. So you can imagine my dismay when I found out that our paid narrator was also being paid by a competing website to read our slightly reworked content.
This Lake Peigneur video is a particularly egregious example. Their script is extremely similar to our original article in structure and phrasing. That alone would be bad enough, but for the video's host to be a former member of Damn Interesting makes it feel really awful.
This isn't the first of our articles they have reworked into a video without our permission, and I doubt it will be the last. I'm not claiming they are breaking any laws, but what they are doing is gross and parasitic.
which shows visually what actually happened with the drill.
