According to the local sheriff it was a heater, most likely a can heater, in a hydro-treater. Those types of heaters are pretty notorious for being hunks of shit with minds of their own at times. Given that fact, and the fact that those types of heaters are largely manually operated, I can now take a very educated guess that this was the result of human error or an OLD heater tube that busted and blew said heater to hell.
Thankfully, all personnel have been accounted for. No fatalities.
