Oilfield Drilling Incident Report

Professional Oilfield Drilling Incident Reporting Made Simple

When incidents occur on drilling sites, fast and accurate reporting is critical—not just for safety and compliance, but for preventing future events and protecting your team. This Oilfield Drilling Incident Report template is designed specifically for oil and gas operators, drilling contractors, and safety coordinators who need to document incidents thoroughly and meet regulatory requirements without the hassle of paper forms or disconnected systems.

Built for the realities of oilfield operations

Drilling sites are complex, high-risk environments where incidents can range from equipment malfunctions and near misses to serious injuries or environmental releases. This template captures everything regulators and internal safety teams need: precise well location and rig details, equipment involved, nature and severity of the incident, personnel affected, immediate actions taken, and which agencies need to be notified.

By moving incident reporting into Paperform, you replace messy PDFs, clipboards and email chains with a structured, mobile-friendly form that field supervisors can complete on-site and instantly route to safety managers, operations leads and compliance officers.

Connect reporting to your safety and compliance workflow

Paperform's conditional logic ensures the right follow-up questions appear based on incident type—so injury reports automatically capture medical response details, equipment failures prompt root cause fields, and environmental releases trigger agency notification checklists. Once submitted, use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate what happens next: notify your safety director via Slack or email, create a case in your safety management system, generate a preliminary report PDF via Papersign (papersign.com) for regulatory submission, or assign corrective action tasks in your project management tool.

Whether you're managing a single rig or an entire fleet, Paperform scales with you—capturing consistent incident data across sites, integrating with the tools your safety and operations teams already use, and giving you the audit trail and reporting visibility required by OSHA, state oil and gas commissions, and your own internal safety protocols.

Trusted by over 500,000 teams worldwide and SOC 2 Type II compliant, Paperform is the secure, no-code platform that turns incident reporting from a compliance burden into a proactive safety asset.
