Well Site

NoI just had the guide plate come off from the bottom of the B.O.P'S while using rig lock and land directly onto a guys head,shoulders,and then his arm. Please make this correction to the guide plate so it doesn't happen to you or your guys. It happened because the hydraulic hose got tangled behind the latch and unlatched it.Keep clear while the tool is being bumped up into the lubricator and drill a hole into the latch to put a pin in to keep the latch from opening.No comment

Well Site

NoWhile making several perforating runs to perforate water bearing zones, three members of the rig crew working on and around the wellhead were overcome by Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas produced as a by-product of the perforating process. Water was being flowed from the wellhead at surfaceCarbon Monoxide (CO) should always be expected to be produced during perforating operations and the corresponding safety precautions taken for any confined space entry, and applicable gas monitoring conducted.No comment3

Surface pressure effectsrig floor

2 persons on drill floor to verify guns shoot off. As guns went off,they realized something went wrong and escaped to safe position. Drill string was forced upward, string parted and landed on drillfloor. The rest of the string went into hole. Parted drill pipe apx. 1 single joint.

Pressure build up after/during fire perforating guns which forced the string uphole.

Incident Report 07/19/2017West Texas

5 guns were shot in the lubricator on a west texas wellsite on 06/29/2017.
The TCP job included a ball drop firing head, percussion detonator, and pyrotechnic delays in between guns.
After the first gun fired, the site was evacuated until the remaining guns fired.
The ball seat did not shear, but the firing pin struck the detonator.
