Abstract: On June 1, 2005, an employer sent six employees to remove a 3- in. flow line from a plugged and abandoned oil and gas well. The employer used a pipe cutter to cut the 3-in. flow line at the 8-ft-tall standpipe after the handle of a ball valve had been turned to relieve gas pressure. There was no release indicating that anything was present. After the pipe was cut, there was a sudden and violent release of high pressure gas.
