  1. 2012 AAPL Annual Meeting Sponsors Platinum Gold Silver Bronze San Francisco Seminar Golf A wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil

  2. What if you had a blowout tomorrow?

  3. Blowout Hazards • Radiant Heat • Noise!!!! (120dB) • No Fire • Explosion • Methane Exposure • Explosion • Oxygen Deficiency • Explosion

  4. Radiant Heat Consequences • A 50 MMscf/d Fire would: • Produce a 140’ Flame • Metal failure within 50 feet • Spontaneous ignite all wood/paper/houses within 50 ft • Burn people within 100 feet if unprotected after 1 min

  5. Gas Hazardous Environment • Large Radius of hazardous environment from gas plume • Evacuation of All Residents within 1 to 3 miles is common • Aerial Evacuation of 2 to 3 miles w/ altitude of 4000 feet • Risk of ignition

  6. 1 Mile Radius of Gas Storage Well In Strip Center Parking Lot

  7. When Unable to Control from Surface – options? • Wait for well to bridge • Drill a Relief Well • Mobilize Appropriate Rig • Directional & Ranging Work • Dynamic Kill • $$$$$$$ and time

  8. Where will you put the Relief Well ?

  9. Gas Storage Well • Frequently in urban environment • Cavern storage • 5 – 15 BCF • Cavern evacuated +/- 7 days • Intense thermal effects • Potential cavern collapse

  10. Your World would Change in Heartbeat

  11. Equipment Requiredfor a Typical Blowout

  12. Fire Pumps (4000+ GPM) & Monitors • Water Source ( 2 Million Gal/day) 6 Ac-ft • Heat Shielding • Athey Wagon & Venturi Tube • Capping Stack • Tools, hoses, pipe and connections • Heavy Equipment • D8 Dozer w/ Ripper, D8 Dozer w/ winch • 235 Cat Trackhoe • 150 ton Crawler Crane w/ 100’ boom • Rough Terrain front end loader/forklift

  13. Typical American City FD Pumper has a 1000 GPM capacity Gas wells take 3000 to 6000 GPM for water curtain Water Storage (6 Ac-ft)1 Ac that is 6’ deep (210’ x 210’ x 6’)Or 2 MM gallons

  14. Where will you get the water?

  15. EquipmentHeat Shielding

  16. Capping Stack on Athey Wagon Double Blind Rams

  17. Venturi Tube over Well

  18. Trackhoe & Fork Lift

  19. Heat Shielding & Water Curtain

  20. D8 Cat w/ WinchAthey Wagon and Abrasive Jet Cutter Attached

  21. Abrasive Jet Cutter

  22. Abrasive Jet Cutter Requirements • Hydraulic Horsepower (2,000 hhp) • Pumping Iron • Sand Requirements (20/40 Ottawa preferred)

  23. Capping Stack

  24. Well Just before Closing Blind Rams, Diverter Lines Open, Water flow into BOPs Stopped

  25. Blind Rams Closed Well on Diversion

  26. Flare Ignited

  27. Equipment Deployment-time is money….

  28. Antonov 225/124 IAH

  29. Loading the Antonov 225/124

  30. Offshore Firefighting Considerations • In Some Areas, Marine Vessels With Substantial Firefighting Capabilities (10,000 to 20,000 gpm) are Limited.

  31. MV Dino Chouest 18,000 gpm water cannons in use to protect platform from further damage if well ignites. Note huge amount of water coverage
