Well blow out in Fourchon

[bgizzle]

Depends on what you call "hurting" the environment. To much pressure on surface casing or intermediate could mean under ground blowout and this could be a tale tale sign of it. "Gas leak" in the gulf? Underground blowouts don't give you tale tale signs of being captain obvious. Someone could take it as leaking casing/ subsurface leak off. It was being plugged for a reason. Not because it wasn't producing. OSHA sometimes will go in and say you gotta plug this well and update your surface equipment. So oil company gets your Jo schmo pna crew because they wearing hats. Bad cement job on isolation side could've just yielded a unexpected kick and the crew wasn't on their game. But indications of failed equipment could've yielded the superviser to freak out and try n hurry the operation casing integrity couldn't withstand the hydraulic horsepower of force feeding 16.2lb cement down its throat and cracked casing. Or, this happens more with drilling but coulda cracked formation losses fluid to permeable zone which in return gives you less hydrostatic pressure(calculated fluid integrity) which in return causes a kick when they move pipe or just sitting around waiting on orders waiting for cement "to dry". Sometimes 12hrs sometimes 24hr depending in company who pumped it and oil company standard practice. Usually offshore they are more well control coherent but ya never know. Sry for ranting this gets my adrenaline pumping. I love well control
