| ENS 57067 | 4 April 2024 19:00:00 | Agreement State | Stuck Well Logging Source | The following information was provided by the Louisiana Radiation Protection Division (the Division) via email: On April 4, 2024 at approximately 1619 CDT, the president and radiation safety officer (RSO) of Roke Technologies USA, Inc. (was) working under Louisiana reciprocity when they reported to the Division that at approximately 1400 CDT, two QSA Global 3.0 Ci well logging sources of Americium-241:Be (Model AMN.CY3) contained in the licensees custom made proprietary logging tool became stuck in tubing at a depth of approximately 1,965 feet. The well, Ronald Richard et ux No. 1, is in Opelousas Field, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. The E-line holding the logging tool, rated at 3,150 lbs., pulled out of the rope socket on the logging head after the subcontractor logging crew, Verde Services, LLC (Verde) of Laurel, MS, attempted to pull out the tool. The licensees plan is to meet Verdes braided line truck that is arriving on site at 0800 CDT on April 5, 2024. The braided line is much stronger than the E-line and this truck has a greater pulling strength than the E-line truck. The licensee has high confidence that they will be able to recover the tool as they are also equipped with a fishing neck for the 1-11/16-inch tool which faces upward inside the 2-3/8-inch tubing. The RSO is remaining on site until the tool and sources are recovered. The RSO will follow up with a status report tomorrow morning. |
