Investigation Summary
On March 28, 2006, a tower drill crew had finished making a drill pipe connection at about the 1,900-ft depth of an anticipated 4,700-ft drill. Employee #1, a driller, entered a dog house to record the depth and take a sample. While he was positioning spinning chain, a deck hand heard chain traveling across drill floor, saw motion out of corner of his eye, and heard Employee #1 make a sound. The drill crew responded, turned off the drill rig, and assisted Employee #1, who had become entangled in the chain and rotating drill pipe at the kelly bushing. He was killed.
