What is a Blowout Preventer?

A Blowout Preventer or "BOP" are large valves that can quickly seal off (at the surface wellhead) an oil or gas well that is being drilled or worked over. 

During oil and natural gas well drilling, the BOP valve immediately closes if overpressure from an underground zone causes formation fluids (oil and natural gas) to enter the wellbore and threaten the safety of the workers on the rig or the rig itself.  By closing the BOP valve (via hydraulic actuators), the drilling crew can prevent explosive pressure release from the well, and once again control the downhole pressure of the well. BOP valves can be opened again once downhole pressure is under control. The BOP valve is located within the "BOP Stack."

Blowout Preventers have helped eliminate deaths, injuries and environmental disasters associated with oilwell "gushers."

What is Blowout Prevention?

Blowout prevention is an oil and gas technology that uses Blowout Preventers to prevent an oil or gas well from blowout.

What is a Gas Well Blowout?

 A gas well blowout is the uncontrolled release of natural gas from a natural gas well which occurs after pressure control systems (Blowout Preventers) have failed.

Before oil well pressure control devices were developed - starting in the 1920s, oil well blowouts were common, and referred to as; gushers, wild wells or just blowouts.

What is Gas Well Control?

Gas Well Control - like Oil Well Control - is the management of the hazardous effects of unexpected high pressures on the surface equipment of drilling rigs when exploring and drilling for oil and/or natural gas. 

Drilling fluid is used when drilling a new oil/natural gas well and provides an amount of well control. 

Inadequate measures to provide for effective Gas Well Control - or - Oil Well Control, can result in an oil well blowout, and cause serious damage, injury, or death, as in the case of British Petroleum's (BP) Deepwater Horizon catastrophe which occurred on April 20, 2010.   BP's failure to maintain sufficient Oil Well Control on the drilling rig caused the oil well blowout which caused an explosion and fire and the deaths of 11 of the drilling rigs employees, and the worst environmental disaster of all time.  

Gas Well Control and Oil Well Control includes the monitoring of the well's pressures and the proper safe-operating procedures for operating the well site equipment - which can vary widely from well-to-well depending on "bottom hole reservoir pressures."

What is an Oil Well Blowout?

 An oil well blowout is the uncontrolled release of crude oil from an oil well which occurs after pressure control systems (Blowout Preventers) have failed.

Before oil well pressure control devices were developed - starting in the 1920s, oil well blowouts were common, and referred to as; gushers, wild wells or just blowouts.

“spending hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars every year for oil, much of it from the Middle East, is just about the single stupidest thing that modern society could possibly do.  It’s very difficult to think of anything more idiotic than that.” 

~ R. James Woolsey, Jr., former Director of the CIA
