@GooGobbler113 Fire systems r required 2 have 165 psi with 2 hoses on. Air sys 120 psi, gas wells to 7800+ psi. Atmospheric pressure u breath is 14.7 psi. We drill with over 5000 psi. Ive seen wells shut in with 2900 psi on DP & over 3000 psi on the csg. & that is when the gas is on the bottom of the hole. Calculate new pressure when the gas has been circulated out to the Wellhead. So why r BOPs manufactured with a safe working pressure of 15000 psi? U need 2 think about what u said Goober.

They had what's called a "blow out", which comes from a kick.
A kick is when the pressure of the oil and gas coming upwards is more then that of the hydrostatic pressure applied by the "mud" (drilling fluid).
When you have a kick and you can't force it out using kill mud/choke/etc... or you rush the process it can cause another kick then you have two to deal with.
When the kick is not handled probably it can turn into a "blow out" which can and will blow everything out of the well.
