Chesapeake’s HSER team recently awarded Key Energy’s Rig 6075 (South Texas) as the Rig of the Quarter for 4Q’22. The Rig of the Quarter is a traveling award that honors contractors that go beyond company standards, recognizing the important role contractors play in Chesapeake’s safety and environmental performance.
Rig 6075 was the most efficient South Texas rig in the last quarter and its crew has a high standard of safety for every team member — leading to an entire year with zero incidents. In 2022, Rig 6075 worked over 38 different Chesapeake wells.
“Key Energy 6075’s commitment to safety exemplifies the standard Chesapeake is looking for on a day-to-day basis,” said Eric Carter, Chesapeake Workover Superintendent in South Texas. “The crew takes ownership in their work, along with making sure all contractors who are part of the task that day do as well. This rig is definitely one that we’re proud to have in our program.”
Chesapeake HSE Workover Advisor Harris Marcom added, “Achieving zero incidents is an incredible accomplishment when you consider the hazards presented on a workover rig. Although this crew is relatively new at working together, they set a high expectation for themselves to ensure everyone goes home safe, every day.”
At a vendor meeting on Jan. 31, the rig crew received a specially designed flag which will fly on the rig until the next honoree is announced. Quarterly winners are selected by our HSE Workover team, which grades each rig against a scorecard of safety and environmental criteria. These criteria include participation in the company’s Good Catch program, behavioral-based safety performance and engagement / reports within KPA (HSE performance management software).
