Narrative

On or about January 9, 2014 at about 0535 hrs an employee of Propetrol Services Inc. was repairing a pump at the Mabee 139-202 HA well site 10 miles north of Midland Texas. When he reached into the pump to repair a faulty plunger, the unit "kicked" and amputated the tip of his right middle finger. He was driven to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa Texas where the prognosis was that the flesh portion not the bone will be amputated.
