More than nine months after it erupted 6/3/79, Petroleos Mexicanos' Ixtoc 1 blowout in Campeche Bay was killed with three cement plugs having a total length of 2885 ft. After drilling of relief wells, 200 sacks of cement were used to form the 685 ft. long bottom plug. After inserting an interval of mud, an additional 200 sacks of cement were pumped down to form a 550 ft. plug. The final up-hole plug was formed by 500 sacks of quick-setting cement, which formed a 1650 ft. long plug.
