Hoping he has a quick recovery
Prayers sent!
Sorry to hear that, and prayers are in mind. My dad worked in the oil fields for a long time, there were many accidents. This is how I got my middle name Derrick (i.e. Oil Derrick). Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Keeping him in my thoughts.
Inbound for all!!!
I worked as a floorhand for a brief time in the late 70's, I still can't believe how damn dangerous that job is. Glad to hear he's going to be OK.
<edit> Actually, I still can't believe my weenie ass survived that job, with all parts intact!
Any update on him?
Any update DD? That is why I always liked working Derricks. Have to have your head on a swivel on the floor.
Hope he is doing okay.
Do you know any details on the accident? Were they using both set of tongs? Pipe spinners probably too. Were you in casing or open hole? Just curious if maybe they were using the table back out and the tongs bit and slammed into him. Or the tongs released breaking a tight connection, in which case he should ha6ve been in the doghouse. Kind of sounds like Drill hit the wrong lever. Lots of stuff can go wrong in a hurry. Let me know the details when you get them. I assume he was working worm's corner.
