Red Adair is no longer with us to stop your blowout Palm.
He died at the age of 89 in 2004.
Elk Antelope is the first commercial petroleum production from carbonate reservoirs, much of the earliest exploration activity in the basin was in the Eastern Papuan Fold Belt (PFB) and involved carbonate objectives. The first discovery in the basin was at Kuru in 1956.
This Kuru #1 well was drilled by the "Australasian Petroleum Company" and blew-out at a rate estimated to be in excess of 50 MMCFD when unexpected gas production was encountered at shallow depths in a Tertiary Carbonate reservoir. After four months of uncontrolled blowout, Red Adair was brought in and, with the drilling of a relief well, was able to control and kill the blowout.
