Injury Reports

Making rounds on compressor. Taking readings and shooting valve and discharge temps.

Mark called me (John Landis) on Friday morning and stated that his left hip was hurting and he was limping around on it. I asked Mark what had happened and he told me that he was climbing up onto the compressor to close the Louvers. He stated that he felt a pinch in his left hip and thigh but continued working. When he woke up on Friday morning he had pain in his left hip and thigh. I told Mark to go home to rest up his leg, he worked until 3:00 PM and went home. He tried working the rest of the day, but the pain persisted on Friday. Mark also told me that earlier in the week (Tuesday) he hit his left hip on a valve at the Boggess Pad. We are unsure if this has anything to do with the injury, but wanted to make note of it. Mark is currently off resting his hip/thigh.

Move Woodford's 500 gal diesel tank with JLG telehandler.

Mike Shatley picked up the fuel cell using the JLG telehandler and started to back off containment without a spotter. With his wheels turned the forks swung around and knocked over a 55 gal drum of Castrol oil. Puncturing a hole in the drum he immediately got out of the telehandler and ran over to move the drum upright so it would stop spilling.

Mike went into the crew shack to wash and bandage his lacerations. He left location to receive stitches at Med Express in Waynesburg, Pa. ~1/2 gal of oil spilled off containment and ~1 gal on containment with Highlands crew immediately cleaning it up.

Unload fuel into the rig's fuel tank

Around 11:45am on 12/26, a Woodford fuel truck driver came to Lemley. He was new to this rig, not new to oil & gas, but Woodford was short on drivers due of the holiday. The rig was in the process of laying down the BHA so all rig hands were busy, and supervisors were on the rig floor. The driver went ahead to fuel the rig's tank. He was not aware that there was a filling inlet near ground level. Instead, he stepped up on the ladder rungs of the tank to look for the filling spout.
While dismounting, the driver lost his footing and fell backwards hitting his head on a nearby light plant tow hitch. He fell approx. 3ft and cut his head ~1.5inches. Crew administered first aid and stopped the bleeding. The injured driver never lost consciousness and seemed ok.

Woodford dispatched another fuel truck driver to the pad. The new driver finished fueling the rig. The injured driver returned to the Woodford shop in Elkins. Later in the day he felt pain in his back, so he drove himself to the Elkins emergency room to get checked. Initial tests show he has a concussion and 2 fractured ribs. The injured driver is home and doing well. He will have a follow up on Monday.

There were no witnesses of the incident.
