Abstract

Systems, apparatus, and methods for controlling a well blowout comprising: a flow control device such as a blowout preventer on a wellbore, the primary throughbore of the flow control device for introducing control fluid into the primary throughbore portion of the wellbore throughbore to create a pressure drop within the primary throughbore sufficient to overcome the flowing blowout fluid pressure within the primary throughbore and optionally introducing control fluid into the primary throughbore using a conduit inserted directly into the wellbore throughbore to further enhance introduction of control fluid into the wellbore throughbore; and optionally a weighted fluid aperture may be positioned in the wellbore conduit, preferably below the control fluid aperture for introducing a weighted fluid into the wellbore throughbore while control fluid is also being concurrently introduced into the wellbore through the control fluid aperture.
