On May 8, 2018, at approximately 12:10 a.m., employees were running some traded pipes and casing. The crew had a problem connecting two pipes (casing), so they unscrewed those pipes and continued to work with the casing. The injured employee's left hand was on top of an open pipe when a hoist operator (driller) let a second pipe come down. The employee's left-hand fingers were caught between the two pipes (casing), resulting in an amputation of his index finger and a broken ring finger.
