Event type: Two sources were in a device used to log down hole wells. The two sources became lodged down hole and Baker Hughes, after 'fishing', decided to cap the location and go around the sources. Cement and a whip-stock were used as deflection devices.
Notifications: LDEQ [Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality] was notified of the lodged sources on March 17, 2014 @ 15:00 hrs. [CDT]. At that time, Baker Hughes requested to plug the lodged location and place a deflection device to continue their work. The request was granted.
Event description: On March 17, 2014, Baker Hughes contacted LDEQ reporting that two well-logging sources became stuck down hole; a QSA Global 2.5 Ci Cs-137 source, SR# 90652B and a QSA Global 5 Ci Am/Be neutron source, SR# 77860B. A request to continue work was granted after a cement plug and a whip stock deflection device was placed at the location of the lodged sources. This incident was reported and will be abandoned and maintained by the requirements of LAC 33:XV.2051 and 2099 Appendix B.
