Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Shell plan to build and deploy a rapid response system that will be available to capture and contain oil in the event of a potential future underwater well blowout in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The companies have committed $1 billion to fund the initial costs of the system.

The deeper an oil well, the higher the pressure, and the higher the risks associated with tapping oil from wells. This is called a “gas kick,” which in worst-case scenarios can lead to blowouts. A gas-kick situation is usually accompanied by such a flow scenario. —Steinar Evje.

The US Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) recently selected six new natural gas and oil research projects aimed at reducing risks and enhancing the environmental performance of drilling in ultra-deepwater settings. Such an estimate would be invaluable in dealing with an uncontrolled flow event in ultra-deepwater.
