Are there lawsuits, regulatory filings, or safety reports involving an oil rig owned by damon darling?

1. No documented lawsuits or regulatory filings about an oil rig owned by Damon Darling

Search results supplied do not show a lawsuit, regulatory enforcement action, or governmental safety report that names Damon Darling as the owner of an oil rig or as a defendant/operator of an oil‑rig facility; existing legal records in the set concern a criminal appeal by a person named Damon Darling, not an oil‑rig civil or regulatory matter ^[1]. Therefore available sources do not mention litigation or regulatory filings about an oil rig owned by Damon Darling.

2. Names collide: check for corporate “Darling” entries that are unrelated to the individual

Several results involve companies with “Darling” in their name — notably Darling Ingredients and Darling Oil Corporation — but those are corporate entities, not the individual Damon Darling. Darling Ingredients’ recent SEC/8‑K activity and bylaw changes are documented ^{[4] [8] [5] [6] [7]}. Darling Oil Corporation appears in a producer profile for Oklahoma production data ^[9]. None of these items in the provided set tie ownership or legal exposure of an oil rig to the person Damon Darling (not found in current reporting).

3. Public persona and merchandise reference “oil rig” but are not regulatory records

A publicly marketed “Austin Texas Oil Rig” limited‑edition T‑shirt appears on damondarling.com, which positions Damon Darling as an entertainer/brand using oil‑rig imagery ^[2]. Biographical/celebrity sites describe Damon Darling as a former oil‑rig worker turned comedian, but these are profile pieces and fan estimates of net worth — not legal or safety documentation ^{[3] [10]}. These items could create the impression of an oil‑rig connection but are not evidence of ownership or legal proceedings ^{[2] [3]}.

4. One judicial record about a Damon Darling is criminal, not civil or regulatory

Legal databases in the results include an appellate opinion and case listing for “DARLING v. STATE,” where Damon Darling challenged a sentencing motion in Florida; these sources concern criminal procedure and sentencing, not oil‑rig operation, safety incidents, or regulatory enforcement ^{[11] [1]}. Treat this as a distinct matter unrelated to oil‑rig ownership unless further reporting demonstrates a connection ^{[11] [1]}.

5. What the available evidence implies and what it does not

From the supplied documents, the plausible explanations are: (a) Damon Darling is a public entertainer who uses oil‑rig themes in branding and whose past work history may include rig work ^{[2] [3]}; (b) corporate entities named “Darling” have filings and industry activity but are separate from the individual ^{[4] [6] [9]}. The sources do not support claims that he currently owns an oil rig or that any oil‑rig safety reports, regulatory enforcement actions, or civil lawsuits target an oil rig he owns (not found in current reporting).

6. How to verify further — suggested next steps

To resolve this definitively, consult: (a) federal and state court dockets for civil cases naming “Damon Darling” plus keywords “oil,” “rig,” “platform,” or specific company names; (b) state oil & gas regulatory incident/safety databases (e.g., state oil conservation divisions or the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement) for any operator or owner named “Darling” or “Damon Darling”; (c) corporate filings or property records for ownership of oil‑field assets under that name. None of these data checks are present in the current search results (not found in current reporting).

Limitations: this analysis is confined to the provided search results and cites those documents directly. If you want, I can run additional focused searches for civil dockets, state regulator incident logs, or property/corporate ownership records to try to locate any filings that are not captured here.
