subsea well control

Subsea well control refers to the safety measures and procedures used to manage oil or gas wells located on the seabed. It involves monitoring and responding to pressures and fluid flows to prevent dangerous situations, such as blowouts, which can lead to spills or explosions. Operators use specialized equipment, like blowout preventers, to contain unexpected pressures and ensure that fluids are contained within the well. Effective subsea well control is crucial for protecting the environment and ensuring the safety of workers during offshore drilling operations.
