Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was part of a five-man crew servicing an operating well. They used a work-over rig to pull the rods and tubing to pressure-test the tubing for possible leaks. Although the hydro-testing tool in the tubing was not pressurized, oil and gas were seen leaking from a valve on the blowout preventor. Employee #1 tried unsuccessfully to stop the flow of oil and gas using a shut-off valve. He was trying to stop the flow a second time when the oil and gas ignited. Employee #1 died of burns sustained in the fire.
