Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working near where his employer had installed a Chic-San swivel hammer connection pipe from the tubing wing assembly valve at the top of the Christmas tree to a Swaco choke assembly. A nipple connected the choke assembly to the hammer connection pipe. When the nipple in the pipeline broke, the pipeline moved violently in the air, bending the tubing wing assembly and striking Employee #1. He was killed. The pressure inside the Chic-San hammer connection pipe and the pipeline was 4,650 psi.
