Near Miss Reports

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
