Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, and methods for controlling a well blowout comprising: a flow control device such as a blowout preventer on a wellbore; a control fluid aperture fluidly connected with the wellbore for introducing a control fluid and/or a plug-forming agent such as a polymer, monomer, resinous, and/or crosslinkable material, through a control fluid aperture and into the primary throughbore while wellbore blowout fluid flows through the wellbore; and optionally, a weighted fluid aperture positioned in the wellbore conduit below the control fluid aperture for introducing a weighted fluid or another fluid or plug-forming agent into the wellbore.
