CES Award Recipient

Charles Brenner

Three operators, including Charles, were transported to an unmanned platform to perform inspections. They were discussing tasks for the day when the B-operator mentioned having to perform a Downhole leakage inspection. Charles had just been performing Downhole leakage inspections and Casing diagnostics in the previous days. He noticed how important it was to wear hearing protection during the bleeding off of the gasses. Charles explained the high noise hazard and asked if he wanted some hearing protection. He said yes, and Charles gave him an extra set of fresh earplugs that he had in his backpack. The operator used the earplugs during his downhole leakage inspections, and the hazard was successfully mitigated. Always carry pairs of earplugs when going out into the field. Even if you don't expect to be in a high noise situation, they don't take up much room and can save you or someone else from hearing loss. Great Job, Charles!

CES Award Recipient

Creighton Wallace

Creighton was at a location checking a dump valve on a gas lift scrubber and found the dump was not closing all the way. The dump appeared to have a hydrate or object keeping the dump from closing. Creighton contacted his field supervisor and asked for assistance with the dump. They carefully took the dump apart and verifying all pressure was removed from the system. A piece of slag was then found in the dump, which had caused it not to close. The slag was removed, and the valve reassembled.

Robert was assisting the Electrician with installing a new dryer; before work started, they conducted a small safety meeting, they discussed the hazards of possible shock, pinch points and lifting. A JSA was written for the task, and a LOTO was completed, and they alerted all personnel of the work going on. After removing the old dryer and installing the new one, the LOTO was removed, and the dryer was tested for proper operation. Everything was done in a timely manner, and without complications, the LOTO and JSA were closed and filed.

While walking around the location, Jose noticed a contractor working without gloves while assembling welded pipes on a recycle line. I approached him and asked him if he needed some gloves; he stated that he had some in his back pocket and lost one and was going to get some more as soon as he was done installing the valve. Jose asked him to please go grab some before continuing.

Jeremy Marrufo

Recently Jeremy was driving to work and observed an unsafe driver trying to maneuver into his lane at the last minute. Luckily for Jeremy, he was practicing safe driving by implementing what he learned through the Smith driving training "always keeping his eyes moving" This helped him avoid an accident. Great Job Jeremy!

CES Award Recipient

Alexa Sanchez

While witnessing a dig out, Alexa noticed a tooth from the Trackhoe bucket had broken, which made the bar come off. The client requires a bar to cover the teeth on the bucket if digging near Lines. Alexa stopped the job. This line locate was a little more difficult due to pipelines running very close to each other, but Alexa had located and marked them correctly beforehand. Alexa also noticed the Trackhoe operating too fast near lines and advised the operator to slow down the digging process.

CES Award Recipient

Jeremy Morvant

When you have a JSEA you make sure you know what you are about to sign, I see a lot of people get handed a JSEA and they don't even look it over and just sign where needed. The reason we have JSEA is that it's a tool for our safety, we need to know what kind of potential hazards we might get into and we need to know how to prevent them from happening. I tell everyone who is involved in a task and needs a JSEA to read and go over with all involved and not to just sign cause you think you have to.

CES Award Recipient

Daniel Solis

Daniel observed a mechanic starting up a compressor and getting it running, so when he walked up to him to talk to him about the compressor, he realized that his H2S monitor was expired. Daniel asked him if he had another one with him or if he could get one. He went to his truck and grabbed the new one that he had.

He put his cigarette out and finished pumping fuel

CES Award Recipient

Euziel Chavarria

While Euziel was inspecting a natural gas compressor when he saw an electrician truck circle around, and park by units. Both of them got out to disconnect a sump pump for compressor units, Euziel immediately approached them to ask them what was going on? They stated they were called to correct an issue on a sump pump that wasn't working. Euziel stopped them and told them not to disconnect or work on the sump. Euziel was completely unaware of any issues on the sump pump; following this, Euziel inspected the sump pump, and it was in proper working order. Euziel showed them, and they told me they were called to this location, and the sump pump had issues. Euziel maintained his position using stop work authority until he figured out who called and what the problem was. Contacted ROH and explained all the above, then ROH contacted the person who called them. The Electricians were at the wrong location and were trying to work on the wrong equipment. Euziel then explained to them the importance of verifying with the client prior to working on any equipment and or have someone there (if possible the person who called) and also confirm that location and equipment is the right one. *Communication is paramount to be able to perform work safely. they apologize, and Euziel ask if they had any other HSE-related questions, they said no.

Great Job Jackson!

CES Award Recipient

Chris Underwood

While driving to a pad location, Chris noticed a plume of smoke coming from another pad location and decided he should check on it. When he arrived at the pad entrance, he noticed a gas cloud coming from the production packs. He immediately shut the truck off a safe distance from the release. He checked the wind direction, which was carrying the gas cloud away from the location, so he entered the location to hit the ESD to shut the well in and shut down all of the ignition sources. He then evacuated the pad and called the proper supervisors. Upon returning to the pad after the release had stopped, it was revealed that the dump body on the production packs had washed out. The quick-thinking by Chris prevented a potentially catastrophic situation from happening. Thank you, Chris for your safety-conscious quick thinking and all you do for Crosby Energy Services.
