Investigation Summary
The drilling rig personnel were testing a blowout prevention device. During the test it was noticed that a connection below the safety device was leaking. Employee #1 was instructed by the rig supervisor to relieve the pressure behind the unit so the leak could be repaired. While Employee #1 was doing this, he inadvertently released the pressure that activates the blowout prevention device. This caused a surge of air to be released through the horizontal flow pipe, and the pipe swung around and struck Employee #1. The horizontal flow pipe was not secured to prevent it from swinging around.
