As technology has advanced, more modern drillers have better control of the overall well. Oil well control is the management of the dangerous effects caused by the unexpected release of formation fluid, such as natural gas and/or crude oil, upon surface equipment of oil or gas drilling rigs and escaping into the atmosphere.
The burning well was finally capped 67 days later by the Texas well-control company Boots & Coots. One of the most troublesome gushers happened on 23 June 1985, at well #37 at the Tengiz field in Atyrau , Kazakh SSR , Soviet Union , where the 4,209-metre deep well blew out and the 200-metre high gusher self-ignited two days later.
