At the time of the incident, contract workers from Eagle were in the process of installing a new tubing head as part of a work over operation. Workers from Forbes, who provided the work over rig, were near the Wendland 1- H well preparing for their follow-on task of installing tubing in the well. Following the blowout, the ensuing flash fire destroyed the work over rig and several nearby vehicles, resulting in an estimated $1 million in property damage in addition to the fatalities and serious injuries.
By the end of this course, students will learn the cause and origin of the blowout accident.
