This is the first of a series of videos I collected from some PDVSA engineers. You can see the impressive force of nature, being impossible to handle and, in some cases, to run away.

In all of this cases, the detonator was a mishandled of the well perforator (made in china). The mud was not properly controlled and the oil pressure finally blow the entire well.

This happened in Monagas, Venezuela - 2007.

  • Would you, with your oil well on fire? That's the one thing I would not want to get mixed up with.

  • que animales!

    escuché de un amigo de Anaco que trabaja en el medio, que volaron un taladro chino porque no tenían la menor idea de lo que estaban indicando algunas válvulas de presión, y cómo estaba en chino fueron a un restaurant chino a ver si alguien les traducía... será cierto?
