The jack-up rig in question, Hercules 265, was later involved in a well blowout and was ultimately destroyed in a resulting fire months after the man's injuries. The incidents, however, do not appear to be related.
According to a lawsuit filed last month in Jasper County, Texas, Syrelle Shultz was injured on two separate occasions while working on the rig - once in January last year, and once in May after returning to work as a motorman.
