WELL Services Petroleum Company Limites says it has identified the location of missing rig worker Pete Phillip.
In a release on Thursday, it stated, “In discussions with the family, we have communicated that we believe we have identified the location of Mr Pete Phillip.
“However, to safely reach that location, it is imperative that the Rig is first stabilsed to mitigate any further risks. Failure to do so will further jeopardize the safety of other personnel involved. We remain committed to carrying out this process with the utmost attention to safety and efficiency.
“While we are doing everything possible to expedite the process, each phase must be carried out with meticulous care and precision. Our primary focus is the safety of the recovery team and all personnel on site, and we are committed to moving forward as swiftly as these critical procedures allow.
“We continue to work closely with the relevant authorities and the family, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available. Our thoughts remain with Mr Phillip’s family during this incredibly difficult time.”
This is the most absurd comment from the company Well Services. If the worker was seen a few hours or days after the incident, what would the company have done to rescue him?
