Abstract
Sustainability in petroleum wells drilling operation systems strongly depends on the use of sustainable materials and a set of technical and safety measures that lead to the survival and proper operation of drilling rig equipment's and personnel. Adherence to the highest levels of standards of tools, materials and methods, although always recommended as the most important option for advancing a safe drilling operation and completing the well efficiently, low risk and stable, but drilling operation is inherently a battle with underground challenges and unexpected dangers. Learning from past such well blowout events and the problems they pose to rapidly control is essential to reduce future impacts including injuries, damage and emissions. Such analysis offers guidance for adapting working practices to improve both prevention and emergency response to such incidents. The causes of blowout during drilling and the necessary technical and safety measures to adopt are reviewed, highlighting how best practices can prevent blowout incidents by improving responses to early warning signals. The particular risks associated with potential shallow gas blowouts are identified and described with the aid of a case study associated with a catastrophic blowout of an onshore well in Iran and the methods used to ultimately control it. The multiple causes of the incident relating to defects in safety systems, equipment and operating procedures are addressed. Lessons learned from the incident reveal the complexity of well control once a blowout incident has occurred and developed into a surface fire. from the stage of the incident to fire control. There is a need for further research into top-hole well kill techniques for wells in a blowout state, as drilling bottom-hole relief wells takes substantial time, during which much surface damage, resource loss and emission typically occurs.
