[kieranlynch33]

what is a blow out and is that guy dead or what?

[mariharst]

They must have known about the kick long enough to prevent the crew from walking on the drillfloor?

[TroyaE117]

Get the BOPs (blow-out preventers) closed quick!!!

The situation runs away very quickly.

[incongra]

they have got cameras and all the fancy pipe handling gear, and probably computers in the doghouse. Then they take a kick like this. This isn't funny, man.

This is Australia, and people die in blowouts, I'm sure people were hurt.

This is likely due to the operators using a mud weight that was too low, so when the bit punctured a high pressure reservoir, all the mud was blow out of the hole.

Less likely, but possible, is that the operators did everything right, but hit a VERY high pressure reservoir.

[robscot971]

can the B.O.P close off something of that magnitude?
