Blowouts are uncontrolled releases of subsurface fluids (gas, oil, or water) that can occur during well operations. They pose significant risks to personnel, the environment, and economic assets. Blowouts can be caused by various factors such as well control failures, equipment malfunctions, human errors, and subsurface anomalies. To prevent and mitigate blowouts, comprehensive measures are implemented, including well control training, equipment maintenance, emergency response plans, and regulatory adherence. Organizations like IADC, API, and government agencies play crucial roles in setting standards and guidelines for blowout prevention.
