Investigation Summary
During plugging and abandoning operations at an oil/gas well, a kick or blowout occurred while a service company was pumping a cement plug into the hole. No blowout prevention devices were used, and flammable concentrations of gas accumulated around the well. A diesel pickup truck that was left running 40 feet away from the well began to overspeed, or diesel, as a result of the natural gas entering the air intake. The truck did not have a kill switch or a heat and spark arresting exhaust system, and it subsequently ignited the surrounding vapors, causing an explosion. Employees #1 through #5 were injured.
