Elevators assembled incorrectly
Date of Incident: 2 December 2023
Description:
While running 30" casing, a worker found a circlip on the rig floor. The operation was immediately stopped, and a thorough search commenced which identified the 30" elevator hinge pin was missing the circlip. The elevator was safely lowered to the rig floor and assessed. The crew identified the elevator was upside down due to the way it was assembled by a third-party supplier.
