Well blowouts can occur during the drilling phase, during , during well , during production, or during activities. Blowouts can eject the out of the well, and the force of the escaping fluid can be strong enough to damage the . In addition to oil, the output of a well blowout might include natural gas, water, drilling fluid, mud, sand, roc. The blowout and fire resulted from an explosion within the swab tree assembly located at the top of the well. More specifically, an explosive environment that had been created through a mixing of hydrocarbons and air was ignited, but the source of the ignition could not be definitively determined.
