Project Number 357
Date of Summary October 1, 2000
Subject Assessment of Risks Associated with Carbon Monoxide Gas During Well Perforation
Performing Activity Research Triangle Institute
Principal Investigator Bert Chessin
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Completion October 2000
Description This project is an attempt to determine if CO is a hazard to OCS workers during well perforating operations. Several people have died during onshore perforating operations, and these deaths may have been caused by CO. A kick-off meeting was held in Camarillo on November 9, 1999. The principal investigator was able to gather information from MMS and State of California personnel, and then speak with lawyers familiar with suits resulting from the onshore deaths.
Progress The final report of this project was presented to the Pacific OCS Region on October 5, 2000. The final report was given to MMS on October 29, 2001.
