Well Control in Case of Offshore Blowout: Mechanized Drill Pipe Handling, Stabbing, Stripping/Snubbing, Drill String Telemetry and Mud Monitoring, Better BOP

摘要

It is suggested that rigs with mechanized drill pipe handling will have fewer injuries and that this reduces the blowout risk. Capability to stab on the kelly, even if there is a drill pipe blowout, reduces the blowout risk. It is suggested that such rigs can be given a snubbing capability which further reduces the blowout risk. It is recommended to make a strong effort aimed at modernizing the drilling methods. In this connection drill stem telemetry and mud monitoring and similar should be viewed together.
