The driller could have killed us and his crew because he wanted to make hole as fast as possible by running his mud weight light. Nobody died but they lost about 5000 foot of pipe downhole when the pressure caused the rock to close in around the pipe.
No matter what the job, you can cut corners on safety and best practices and get away with it a lot but eventually it bites you hard.
Ultimately the mud engineer and driller were kicked off the job as soon as the company men from Texaco arrived.
