A fourth gunk squeeze was successful in sealing off annuli behind 2 7/8-in. tubing located in CNG Producing Co.'s South Timbalier 76 Well F-1. This allowed bullheading gas back into the Big A sands with 18.5-ppg mud and killing the underground blowout on Feb. 14, 1993. A 20-bbl cement plug was placed below 15,800 ft to permanently isolate A sands from the hole in the 2 7/8-inch. at 14,829 ft. A pressure-temperature log run on Feb. 19, 1993, confirmed that there was no longer any flow in the wellbore. The following case history outlines steps taken to kill this high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) well's underground blowout.
