Near Miss Reports

While driving south on I79 in traffic. A piece of debri struck the windshield of my 2014 f150 on the passenger side causing a chip in the windshield I looked at the vehicles around me and did not notice any vehicles with excessive mud on them

At 21:36 hrs we had an incident while running 5.5 production casing. After latching up a joint of casing on the cat walk with the elevators the Driller began to pick up the joint during that time he floated his elevators back in as normal. At the same time the derrick hand that was operating the cat walk and skate, ran the skate up to far and pushed the joint of casing thru the elevators into the back of the derrick. The driller could not see that the casing had went into the back of the derrick underneath one of the 4X4 beams in the top drive track. The casing struck the beam while coming up and ripped it free from the I beams of the top drive track, the 4X4 beam fell to the floor landing on the rotary table. Kimzy casing crew had 3 men that were working on the floor where the beam fell to the floor, they saw it happen and were able to dive out of the way of the beam before it came to the floor.

Myself and the Rig Manager heard the incident happen and immediately went to the rig floor to assess the situation and ensure no one was injured (no injuries). It was found that the top drive track had suffered damage and was bent to the point that the top drive could not come to the floor. (Jay Hewitt was contacted at this time)( Brent Kasmiear Nabors superintendent)

We held a safety stand down to allow the personal to calm down and come up with a plan to remove the joint of casing that was still latched in the elevators. Once a plan was in place we removed the joint of casing and rigged down the casing crew and began circulating the casing.

BJ Services employee was performing preventative maintenance on a fluid end. While making the repairs another employee asked him a question, he turned his head to answer the question and the plunger fell and struck him the foot. The injured employee was wearing steel toe/metatarsal boots, but still sustained an injury. The employee was taken to the supervisors truck, Axiom and BJ EHS were notified, first aid and icing the foot were recommended. The employee later decided to have an x-ray 6/22/2017, which revealed a hair line fracture.

DTE's pipeline has a pressure release valve at the interconnect below the Kassay Pad. The valve is set to "pop off" at 1200 psig. Our Kassay pad has a pressure safety high on our pad set at 1150 psig. So, our pad should shut in before the pressure release valve goes off shutting in our pad. The pressure safety high had been disabled and the pressure on the pipleline got above 1200 psig, causing the pressure relief valve to actuate. This venting of gas startled the water truck drivers and they ESD's the pad, which was the correct form of action. Going forward the pressure safety high on the pipeline pressure for the Kassay pad will not be disabled.

I just received word from the field that one of the water truck drivers from Ransom Drilling was killed as a result of his truck wrecking. I?m told as he was traveling on Rt. 50 to/from one the disposal facilities in Ohio, the truck blew a tire and he lost control. DOT is on scene and will conduct an investigation. There is a story already on WBOY?s website with two pictures, as well as WDTV?s website.

A Day Brook truck hauling fresh water was attempting to pas a parked pickup when it slid off the road. The driver contacted Brad Chadwick and they anchored the truck with a tandem until another water truck could empty it out. Once empty they were able to drive the truck back on the road.

The pickup was not supposed to be parked in that location and the Day Brook driver should have not made the attempt with such little clearance.

Moving forward we will make sure no one parks along the lease road.

Kenneth Keeling, a Patterson UTI Motorhand was found passed out under the influence of alcohol in the passenger side front seat of a vehicle on location. Patterson UTI HSE was informed by rig manager Jeff Donahue) and a field sobriety check was performed. Kenneth blew over the legal limit. Patterson was let go and was taken to the airport by Patterson HSE.

Ryan Emery from Backwoods Oil & Gas Services, Inc. had to move a light plant from the back of location to the front utiliziing a 12k telehandler. He picked up the light plant with the telehander forks near the back of location. Light plant picked ~2' off the ground. While driving behind the KSW backyard he bumped into Jordan Neville's white F150 with his forks that was parked along the AST containment, damaging the grille and hood. All red zones were in place while equipment was in operation and seat belts were utilized.

Truck Driver

Tractor and Trailer hauling telehandler off site did not adhere to “no left turns” sign and turned left onto Rt 7. A rock truck came around the turn on Rt. 7 from the left having to brake excessively to keep from causing an accident. No injuries or damages reported.

Around 9:20am, a lowboy with large equipment was turning left out of the Boggess well pad entrance. As the lowboy was turning out, a stone truck was traveling north on Rt 7 and when they came around the corner they had to slam on their brakes and came close to impacting the lowboy. Mike was 2 trucks behind the stone truck and had to slam on his brakes as well to avoid an accident. Mike relayed that there were no impacts or injuries at all.

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.

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.
