Question 3204 Deck General

The correct answer is B) blowout. A blowout is an uncontrolled flow of gas, oil, or other well fluids into the atmosphere from a well. This occurs when the well's pressure control systems fail, allowing the high-pressure fluids to escape in an uncontrolled manner. This is a critical situation that must be addressed promptly to prevent potential environmental damage and safety hazards. The other answer choices are incorrect. A "flow" is a general term that does not specifically describe an uncontrolled release. A "kick" refers to an influx of high-pressure fluid into the wellbore, which may lead to a blowout if not properly managed. "Breakout" is not a commonly used term in this context.
