Halliburton missing ‘undetermined amount of explosives’ in Texas: cops
The Odessa Police Department Bomb Squad Unit released this sketch of what the missing explosives look like.Uh oh.
An “undetermined amount of explosives” was reported missing from Texas-based oil company Halliburton on Thursday, Odessa police said.
The explosives disappeared en route from a Halliburton yard in Odessa to Reeves County in western Texas, police said. The call about the explosives came in around 6 a.m. Thursday, but Halliburton later said the loss was noticed on Wednesday.
It’s unclear if they were lost or stolen.
Police described the explosives as “oilfield igniters,” about two inches long and half an inch wide, with no labels on them to indicate that they are dangerous.

Halliburton said in a statement to the Daily News that it’s “conducting a thorough search” for the lost load.
The statement said the evaporated explosives ignite into “a small charge equivalent to a large firecracker.”
Halliburton lost a radioactive rod while transporting it away from a Reeves County well in 2012 and later found it on a road seven miles from the well, the Odessa American reported.
