Drilling slant hole to extinguish Horseshoe Bend gas flow
Pacific Natural Gas Exploration drills a relief slant hole 415 feet from the No 1-13-2 Horseshoe Bend Well to drop below the gas zone at about 3600 feet and stop the flow. The No 1-13-2 blew out during pulling a drillstem tester from 6710 feet and ignited as the blowout prevented ram closure. Gas has been flared due to terrain and weather to avert further fires or explosions. Barker Well Service and Willard Pease Drilling Co. operate the relief rig at the Horseshoe Bend site in Utah.
