There are a variety of triggers that can lead to surface and underground blowouts on oil and gas wells. Drilling and workover operations that exhibit a compromised hydrostatic barrier can permit formation fluids to come to surface. Additionally, a surface barrier may fail on a production well. In both cases, these events could lead to a surface blowout. On the other hand, underground blowouts can happen if there is formation flow from a high-pressure reservoir to a formation with lower integrity. This is typically the result of some type of downhole failure. A particularly severe event can occur if loss of well control barriers follows. The crucial factor in the ability to cap a surface blowout, or reenter and concentrically kill an underground blowout, is the well control specialist’s ability to gain access to the wellhead. 1 E & P ARTICULO Scheet, Aaron 59945 193839 193839 https://epplus.hartenergy.com/issue/january-2021/when-poor-integrity-leads-to-blowout/ 0 0 0 0 261558 BVIAPG BVIAPG 2026-03-06 200066204 0 200066204 2026-03-06 00:38:47 2026-03-06 ARTICULO
