On 23 December 2003 at 21:15, a gas well burst and released highly toxic hydrogen sulfide. According to China Daily, 233 people died and at least 9,000 were injured.

The well was called “{{lang|zh-Hans|罗家16H}}” and belonged to PetroChina's Southwest Oil and Gas Field Branch ({{lang|zh-Hans|西南油气田分公司}}). It was located in the Chuandongbei gas field ({{zh|s=川东北气矿|p=Chuāndōngběi qìkuàng}}) in Gaoqiao's Xiaoyang village ({{zh|s=小阳村|p=Xiǎoyáng Cūn}}).^[1]

In 2007, Chevron Corporation and China National Petroleum Corporation signed a contract to share production in Chuandongbei, with Chevron getting 49 percent of the venture, operating the project and supplying the technology.^[2]
