Dropped Casing Pipe Strikes Worker


A service rig crew was lowering casing pipe into the channel slide when it snagged on the edge of the channel. This caused the travelling block assembly and tubing elevators to swing past the tubing tong line. The elevators opened and the pipe was released, striking a worker in the face on the catwalk below. The worker was seriously injured.
