Nabors Rig 9 Catches Fire.

The Oil and Gas Commission was notified of a rig fire at approximately 11pm Friday night. The rig is located approximately 20km north of Hudson’s Hope. We understand no one was injured in the fire and at this time there is no risk to the public.

Road blocks and air monitoring equipment have been set up in the area and OGC inspectors are on site. The rig was drilling a sweet gas well when the fire started. As of 3pm Saturday, the rig was still burning.

Glad to here no-one was hurt. People don't understand how dangerous our jobs are.

It could be any of us, any day... Make peace with your maker and be ready, brothers.

Yes it could have been and thankful no one was injuried. The formation they were drilling in is known for very high pressures. It is a sweet well so no danger of H2S gas. As of a right now the rig is still burning.

Glad to hear no one was hurt. These kids and I call them kid lightly, they are all men, they have just got to start watching with there eyes, ears, nose and feel alot more. A well does not kick you with out telling you first. they have got to quit depending on the high tech equipment for every thing it will lie to you. Your own senses will not. God Bless all in the Oil patch lets keep it safe.
