A oilfield worker in Levelland, Texas, was hospitalized Thursday following an accident at the Oxy Lease on Wildcat Road, south of Farm to Market Road 1585, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
Levelland EMTs were called to the scene around 10:30 a.m., and they transported the 42-year-old worker to University Medical Center with “non-life threatening” injuries, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported.
Apparently, the male worker was hurt when there was “a blow-out” on a carbon dioxide line when workers were testing oil quality.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will lead the investigation of the workplace accident.
