This is information which I got from my friends and I would like to share with you in order to emphasize the important of well control. I am not sure about the rig name. See photos and details below;
On Tuesday at around 4:16 pm local time, there has been an explosion and fire at Nabors Drilling Rig owned that worked for Whiting Petroleum, in the state of McKenzie, North Dakota. At that time a new rig drill depth of 15,000 feet, then there is pressure from the kick in the hole with a material that causes bursts of fire. Fire Brigade was spraying foam to extinguish it. A worker named Brian Busby suffered burns on his hands and his head and was rushed to the General Hospital in the town of Watford McKenzie to get treatment.
