Investigation Summary
At 10:00 p.m. on June 2, 2021, an employee arrived at a well to check operations and had been standing on the platform of 100 barrel crude oil tank with the top hatch open. After the employee failed to return home, a coworker investigated and found him unresponsive. The employee had been potentially exposed to VOCs or an oxygen deficient atmosphere and was killed, however the death was ruled as natural causes due to lack of evidence of exposure.
