blowout-surge of petro that blows the valve?

Wells blow out - rigs burn down. Happens more often than you imagine. Usually just shows up in the local press unless you have a big blaze offshore like this.

Not trying to downplay it or the deaths. But it is part of the industry. Something that is worked on every day to prevent but still happens from time to time.

Also, this has nothing to do with being offshore or being in deep water. More to do with hitting high pressure formations when you are not ready to take on that pressure. Can happen anywhere.

Who was it here that used to work on an off shore rig, Bino?

I was. For not long though, about 1.5 years.

There was a guy who used to be in the Mexico gulf, can't remember the name.

Spongebob was also involved in the industry
