STANLEY, N.D. (AP) – In a story Sept. 6 about a worker who got
burned in an explosion at a North Dakota oil rig site, The
Associated Press, relying on information from the Mountrail County
Sheriff’s Office, misidentified the company that operates the site.
The site is operated by Slawson Exploration Co. Inc., not Hess
Corp.
    
     A corrected version of the story is below:

     STANLEY, N.D. (AP) – A Utah man working in the North Dakota oil
fields is being treated at a Minnesota burn center after an oil rig
explosion.
     Mountrail County Sheriff Ken Halvorson says 29-year-old Jeffery
Kinkaid, of Nephi, Utah, apparently became wedged beneath a burning
tank and suffered burns on about 90 percent of his body in the
incident Tuesday at a Slawson Exploration Co. Inc. rig site
southwest of Stanley.
     The cause of the blast was not immediately determined.
