Well control

Well control is all about keeping the oil and gas in a well where it belongs, and making sure it doesn't come out unexpectedly. Just like you have a cup to keep your drink in, there are tools and equipment to keep the oil and gas in the well.

Sometimes, things can go wrong and the oil or gas may start to come out of the well too quickly. This is called a blowout. When this happens, special devices and techniques are used to stop the flow of oil and gas and prevent it from causing damage or harm to people or the environment.

Well control requires a lot of training, skill, and experience to do properly. People who work in this field need to be careful and pay close attention to what's happening, so that they can respond quickly and effectively if anything goes wrong. Overall, well control is an important part of making sure that we can safely and efficiently extract oil and gas from the ground.
