Near Miss Reports

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Well Tender

Pulled up on pad and thought a dump was stuck open. Went into unit and ball valve blew out side. Shut in Unit and the unit blew down. Within a couple of hours later another ball valve blew and a 2" Balon Dump Valve. The pad was then shut in until all units have been repaired and inspected.

As I was coming up the lease road towards the pad, I noticed a big fog above the pad and heard a very loud hissing sound as well. As I got closer I could barely see a few people off to the side of Pad and went over to see what was going on once I saw that it was safe. Brian was pretty shook up and said another dump/bypass valve had blown apart on the GPU (#4) while he was standing inside of it. He was hit by some sand, water and some loud noises but is fine as of now. With help from Dave and the ShalePro guy on location, they isolated the unit. There was also a Nalco employee taking samples right before the incident. Luckily, no one was injured.

Moving center tub out away from the rig.

Charles (Night Tool Pusher) was operating the John Deere front loader to move the center tub away from the rig to pull the HCR off the mud cross. Placed forks underneath the center tub on ODS of the rig. While backing up the front steer tires transitioned from the matting boards to the cellar plates. Deflecting the cellar plates the forks tilted down and slid the center tub off. Tub slid down and pushed the corner of the rig mats into the 5H cage. The impact moved the cellar cage 2' contacting the 2" casing pressure line. Pulled the threads off the 2"nipple between the valve and elbow releasing ~600 psi of pressure. Charles immediately moved the fiberglass cellar cover and closed the valve.

While moving the center tub my forks tilted forward after driving onto the cellar plate. Causing the tub to slide off the forks and push the matting boards into the cellar cage. I heard a hissing noise and immediately moved the grating and closed the 2" valve in the cellar.
