Stephen Hoff and Boyd Holland lower an "accident victim" dummy from the perch on the derrick of a service rig, during a high-level rescue simulation carried out at Miller Well Servicing in their yard on Wednesday. With all service rigs in the yard during road bans, the company decided to hold the exercise to keep the rig crew on their toes, with observers from Cenovus, Miller and Brady's Oilfield Service on hand to watch the drill.
