The Blowout Prevention System

Is another major component of the rig. Its primary function is to control an imminent “blowout”. A blowout is an uncontrolled flow of formation fluid to the surface. A blowout usually begins as a “kick”, which is an intrusion of any high-pressure subsurface formation fluid into the well bore. This intrusion may lead to a blowout if it is not immediately handled by the crew. In order to stop a “kick” from becoming a blowout, the blowout prevention system is used.
