What is blowout oil rig?

A blowout oil rig is a type of oil drilling rig that experiences an uncontrolled release of oil or gas from a wellbore under high pressure. This sudden and unexpected release of hydrocarbons can occur during drilling, completion, workover, or production operations due to a failure in the control systems or an unexpected change in the formation pressure. Blowouts can result in the loss of human life, environmental damage, and significant financial losses for the companies involved. To prevent blowouts, rigs must implement well control procedures, safety measures, and regular inspections. In the event of a blowout, specialized teams equipped with blowout preventers, relief wells, and other tools are called in to contain and stop the flow of oil or gas.
