Employee Is Killed When Struck by Pipe

At approximately 5:30 p.m. on October 29, 1998, Employee #1 was on a workover rig, adjacent to a mud tank, watching the pumping of cement into the H2S well. The well was depleted, and Employee #1 and the pump operator were capping it. The cement was pumped in, followed by saltwater. A loud explosion was heard by the pump operator, who turned to see Employee #1 leaned over the mud tank. The explosion or surge caused the pipe of the return line to come loose at the elbow, striking Employee #1 in the head, killing him.
