2021 2nd Alert HiPo40 Elevator opened and drill pipe dropped near catwalk
The POOH of Polish mill assembly on 3 ½ IF DP string was in progress. At around 13.45 (24.07.) the 23rd joint was B/O with power tong and while laying the joint down the V-Door the Elevator suddenly opened when it was approx. 2.5mtrs above the rig floor. The joint was already in the V-Door with its half length once the elevator opened and the joint uncontrollably slid down the V-Door and rested on the right side of the pipe racks.
Always Comply to Drops zone management, utilize step back safety zone whenever possible Always Observe the path of the elevator while tripping and during laying down the Tubular thru the V-Door (Tubular smooth motion) Always Ensure the Elevator is properly latched (Floorman to “thumb up” to the driller prior to picking the string) Straight line V-Doors is preferred , always inspect the equipment pre use, check the condition of the V-Door and catwalk groove
