Glad everyone is ok.



No injuries or fatalities confirmed?

Only a news blurb here in Houston.

What the hell is going on? These seem tp keep happening? Just poor luck and statistical anomaly or decreased standards and oversight?

Honestly asking. Lot of oilfield Baws on here.

The same thing that caused the explosion is what saved everyone from being injured, all the operators were asleep.

What the hell is going on is called high pressure O&G. Many of us live in fantasy worlds MONDAY morning QBing behind a computer desk, but there’s real shite that has to be done everyday that’s dangerous as hell and someone has to do it somewhere.

I’m sure there will be plenty that complain this keeps happening in BR, and it does. And that’s because that’s where the jobs are.

Board of investors squeezing every red cent. Maintenance is lacking everywhere, not just in this plant.
