Two Well Workers Hurt in Tioga County

Another natural gas well incident in the region sent two people to the hospital.

The workers were hurt Friday morning in Tioga County when a pipe coupling came apart at an Ultra Resources well in Gaines Township.

DEP’s Nels Taber says both workers were flown to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. A piece of metal hit one worker in the head, causing a skull laceration; the other had broken ribs.

The well was being readied for production, but was shut down for the rest of the day on Friday. OSHA is investigating.
