Justin Hicks + 162 JH January 28, 2020 Some good news out of Oklahoma today. $20 million dollars awarded to two families of men killed in the 2018 Patterson 219 explosion, the worst on land rig disaster in the US. We lost 5 good men on rig 219, I'm happy the verdict has come in. Greed over human life has no place in our industry. It's too bad Patterson UTI and Red Mountain Energy was not pushed into bankruptcy as Patterson has crippled more men than Vietnam and I wouldn't use Red Mountain Energy to drill a water well. https://kfor.com/2020/01/28/jury-awards-20-million-to-families-of-men-killed-in-rig-explosion/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a very dangerous job and safety first is not just a saying. A couple months ago I watched this video made by the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. The conclusion by this Board will surprise you. This was not a case of greed over human life. I have ZERO knowledge of drilling, rigs, completions. I know many of you do and I look forward to the comments. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=red+mountain+explosion+state+of+OKlahoma+summary&&view=detail&mid=C1347FBD339E74FD0C8BC1347FBD339E74FD0C8B&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dred%2Bmountain%2Bexplosion%2Bstate%2Bof%2BOKlahoma%2Bsummary%26FORM%3DHDRSC3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
