Removing valve seat from mud pump

On 5/18/2021 at approximately 08:45 the rig went down on MP#2 due to washed seats and valves on the #2 module. The Rig
Crew began repairs on the mud pump by removing the discharge seat successfully, and then moved onto the suction seat. At
approximately 09:30 the crew began to pressure up on the seat puller with the Pancake, as the pressure approached
9500PSI there was a sudden release at the seat puller; the all thread center stem bolt used to pull the seat separated inside
the module leaving 14” of the bolt in the module and releasing 24”s of the bolt into the air. The bolt went through the open
roof hatch and landed on top of the mud pump roof. The bolt weight was approximately 19.8 pounds.
The bolt was shipped to the manufacturer for a metallurgy inspection to help determine the root cause.
Moving forward, until a proper recommendation from the manufacturer is received, crews will establish a red zone and utilize a restraining device.

Frac Operations. Sand trucks delivering sand to pad

From Mike Inman
Last night around 8:50 PM, I received a text from a Daybrook driver. He asked what was wrong with the female at the lower guard shack. He said that she sounded panicked and had fear in her voice. The roustabout was also down there, he was working on the light plant for the lower guard shack. Ryan with PSC, and myself headed down there. The roustabout was returning to pad, he stopped me, and said that the female guard was scared and was having some issues. We arrived at the guard shack and you could tell she had been crying and was scared. The light plant had tripped out again and the shack had no power. Her boyfriend was also at the shack. I told him to leave and Ryan and myself asked her what was wrong.
She told us that Matt who drives the “Green Weenie” for AEP had caused her issue. She said that he had asked her for a cigarette. He said he would pay for it and she said that it was fine. She went into the shack to get the cigarettes. He came up the window, she handed the cigarette to him through the window. He then grabbed her wrist and said maybe I can fit through the window or something to that affect. She pulled away and said she would slam his hand in the window. Matt then left to go to pad with the load of sand. That is when the light plant died. She had very poor cell service, no CB, and no light. She had called her boyfriend who only was 20 mins away, she also put a crowbar in the shack with her. Matt was then leaving the pipe yard, he pulled up and said I hear you are having CB issues, but since you already have a guy here, I am not going to help you.
We then placed her at the Kassay Pad guard shack, Water transfer has a guy on the Kassay, and the roustabout also stayed at the Kassay pad. She felt safe with that. PSC contacted AEP and told Matt not to return to pad. The AEP dispatcher asked Matt what had happened, Matt said he just asked to buy a cigarette and it must be a conspiracy against him. It was also confirmed that his truck was on the in-out sheet that GMS maintains.
Johnna Dickey has worked for GMS for less than 2 weeks. Her Supervisor is Jeff Weimer at 304-216-7707. Keep in mind that she did not report this because she had only worked there for a short time and was concerned about her job. This was reported to us by other employees looking out for her. I also told her that if she ever felt threatened again, she should immediately drive to pad for help.

TIH after BHA swap

While tripping in the hole at the beginning of the shift, Mitch was in the derrick, he began to get lightheaded and start to feel unlike himself and was aware enough to stop the job and come down from the derrick once he was able to do so safely. Once on the floor he collapsed but remained conscious, he was then helped down the rig stairs to the rig managers porch were we sat him down on a chair and he began to shake/spasm. Rig manager and myself(Josh Grim) made the call to either take him to the ER or call the ambulance, I decided that I would just take him in my vehicle to the ER since I was familiar with its location. He was then seen by the ER doctor and was instructed to go to the dental complex to be seen, doctor said it was a reaction between the medications that he was previously given for his dental infection. He was prescribed a different medication and we filled it before returning to rig. He is on his last day of his hitch so he will not be working the rest of his shift.

On January 14th at 10:45 PM while moving the Nine Energy grease trailer from the Coastal Pad up the steep hill towards the Fisher Pad, a dash light came on in the Nine Energy pickup truck indicating "Transmission Too Hot" and the engine shut off. The truck began coasting backwards downhill with no steering or brakes. The trailer turned and pulled the pickup into the ditch, then came free from the fifth-wheel ball, which parted the safety chains and the break-away latch. The pickup came to a stop in the ditch, while the trailer continued coasting downhill. The trailer remained upright as it rolled backwards and stopped right before the tree line approximately 70 yds from the lease road.

Dustin Merchant was the driver of the Nine Energy pickup. He is a hot shot driver for Nine. He was uninjured, but was taken to the hospital for examination. Dustin also underwent a drug and alcohol test last night and the results were ?negative?.

There were no releases involved with the incident. Damage to the pickup includes body damage, driveshaft and possible hidden damage. Damage to the PCE trailer appears to be minor. The trailer has been towed back to the lease road and inspected carefully. Both the truck and trailer have been removed from NNE property. Nine Energy's investigation is ongoing.

Travis was dumping onto the stockpile with A John Deere 250 Artic rock truck. he was slightly downhill, when he dumped the load, the load did not slide out of the truck and it tilted the cab over. there were no injuries and minimal damage to truck.

Today at approximately 1115AM a panhandle Casing truck was delivering 9 5/8? casing to the Coastal pad and on his way back through the fisher location, the rear of his trailer hooked the front fender of the Rig Managers truck pushing it into the safety shack. There are no injuries. The Panhandle truck was being driven by Gail See He has been driving tractor trailers since 2002. He is driving out of the Morgantown, WV dispatch phone

At 6:45 pm an Aveda truck driver was unloading his last load of the day unassisted and without authorization. As the pump for the rig was being hoisted up the roller board the line broke dropping the pump approximately 7'. No one was in the area but the pump sustained damage. It bent the skid, which throws the pump out of alignment, damaged the electrical motor and damaged the gear end. It will be about four days before a replacement can be put together.

The employee has been terminated for not listening to instructions and going against policies of all three companies involved. After the incident a safety stand down was preformed.

A tandem from Lightening trucking was unloading the compressor off the bed, the bridal didn't have enough slack in it so it came off the ear of the skid. When it did the radiator of the compressor was bent. No one was in the red zone and no other equipment was damaged.

I received a complaint from Dave Dillie on July 3,2017. He alleges NNE has caused the floor in his trailer to start to wave, He said he checked the frame, where he could access it with the level, but agreed the frame was level. The allegations started that by drilling under it we changed the water table, which then caused the trailer to settle. After further discussion and the talking through the process of drilling, he claimed it was the sand truck traffic beating on the ground that caused the trailer to settle. I told him I would discuss it with the office and we would get back to him. 7-6-2017 I went out to look at the fence that we needed to reinstall and his daughter asked what we had decided on the trailer. I told her the issue was still being discussed and we would get back to them. Mrs, Dillies cell phone #304-692-5613

At approximately 1600 PM on 4/9/17, Best Line Equipment rentals was delivering a tele-handler to the Kassay Pad. The driver, Justin, had lowered his drop trailer and unloaded the tele-handler. Justin then attempted to raise his drop trailer. He then noticed the trailer was not working and had released approximately 15-20 gallons of hydraulic fluid onto the Kassay pad. The roustabout also noticed it at the same time and put a duck pond under the trailer. The roustabout continued to contain the hydraulic fluid and the driver reported it to me. We immediately contained with peat moss and began to dig up the fluid and put it a waste dumpster. We have contacted Max with NGE to evaluate the material and the cleanup. I have attached before pictures and we will follow up with after pictures when we can.
