Don't blame the Geologist. He kept telling them to stop drilling and set casing. They hit a loss zone, the well kicked and the gas came up a fault. Initially it was around 500m from the rig but worked its way back towards the rig until it was coming up from under the rig.
Everyone was evacuated and it eventually bridged off but not before doing a lot of damage to the rig. As you can see the BOP was snapped off and never seen again.
Incidentally the co. man got fired for stealing the ships bell.

you cant even spell practiced. SHUT UP.

off shore drilling should not be practised. instead, we kill all the saudis, and take their oil.

@oilrigdisasters ...thank you
-
@GeorgeJansen it has an outer casing, so when they run the tubing it just sets right in

I'm sorry, but what exactly happened there? Was there a blow-out where the rig got moving from above the well head, shut it and moved a little meters from there? And what's the stuff coming to the surface? Mud, gas, oil or all of this mixed?!

whats happening in this video? oil bubble to surface?
There's no BOP when drilling soft top hole sections, which is when you can get shallow gas! BOPs are installed in hard formations, usually the 17-1/2" section or similar. From the info that I've got, the well blew out in one of the sections below the top hole: BOPs were installed and an FIT had been performed. It appears that the formation failed causing an underground blowout, with the gas breaching the sea bed around the conductor. I suppose we can blame the geologists for that one...!
