I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me they are suing the wrong people. The contractor company who caused the explosion, if they were negligent, should be the one who has liability not only for the injured worker but also for the destroyed pipeline. Even if the contractor has some type of indemnification clause granted by Delfin/Others in their contract the target of the lawsuit should still be the contractor. There is such a thing as vicarious liability by which Delfin/Others could be held liable, but that would only apply if Delfin/Others were negligent in some way such as hiring a non-certified contractor to do the work or forcing the contractor to cut corners in the inspection process and by so doing violate certain mandatory rules or regulations. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lawsuit at some point filed by Delfin/Others against the contractor. It sure would be nice to know who the contractor was, someone mentioned Kinder Morgan trucks were close to the explosion area. It's strange that the contractor company's name has never been mentioned in any of the news articles at least the ones I have read. This is only my opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
