The San Juan County Sheriff's Office said a tank on the back of a nitrogen transfer truck belonging to BJ Services exploded about 1:20 p.m. Friday at a new ConocoPhillips well site outside Aztec.
The cause of the explosion is unknown, but authorities said it appeared to be an accident. The explosion will be investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The Sheriff's Office did not identify the man who was killed pending notification of his relatives in Arizona. The man suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sheriff's Lt. Dwayne Faverino said the man's co-workers told investigators he had been on the job for a couple of months.
More than 30 workers were on site when the nitrogen tank exploded, Faverino said." More>>>>
