Well Services ENDS Search For Remains of Pete Phillip After Rig 110 Collapse
Well Services Petroleum Company Limited has officially ended the search for the remains of 47-year-old rig worker, Pete Phillip of La Romaine, who was lost at sea when Rig 110 collapsed in the early hours on Sunday 22nd December, 2024. He was among seventy-five (75) personnel on the rig at the time of the incident, in the Heritage Offshore East Field.
The company confirmed the decision in a statement issued today (Monday 9th February, 2026), which said an intensive recovery operation involving both local and international specialists was launched in January, with the sole focus of locating Phillip. However, despite weeks of co-ordinated salvage and search activity, those efforts were unsuccessful.
The company said all viable search areas have now been exhausted, leaving no further locations to explore. As a result, a decision was taken to discontinue recovery operations.
Well Services described the outcome as heartbreaking and said Phillip’s family has been informed.
The company extended its condolences and reiterated its commitment to providing ongoing support to his relatives, pledging continued assistance and engagement marked by compassion and transparency during their period of mourning.
More on this as it becomes available.
