I understand the six well heads are used with directional drilling with attached cameras and sensors.

I would expect the different drill heads were taken in different directions out many miles from each other and many miles deep. When all well heads gushed (if truely reported), this would give credence to an ‘ocean of oil’.

Even in horizontal drilling, they drill one hole at a time. You have a site pad that will hold up to 6 or 8 bores at the surface level but all are going out in different directions, like a star burst, below the surface. Because these bores are on the same site pad on the surface and in close proximity to each other, they only drill one at a time.

A wellhead is surface equipment that connects to the pipe put downhole. It regulates the well bore and allows products and pressure to be maintained.

There is not way IMHO that while drilling a well out in a particular direction mostly the opposite of all the other wells on that same site pad, could it blow the wellheads off of any of those other bores AND make them gush.

If that were to happen then possibly either an underground blowout occurred or a surface blowout occurred and that pressure knocked/blew those other wellheads off of the casings.

ROTFLMAO! I would expect your mommy doesn't know you are on the computer again. How many drilling rigs on that pad? Simultaneously? All hitting the same depth or formation at the same time? Miles apart without regard for geologic structure? Without regard for lateral reservoir variation?

If there was a triple facepalm, this crock would merit one. Sheesh!

You understand that well heads have cameras attached?
