60 Years of Responding – A look back
Safety Boss has responded to more than 800 emergencies during our 60+ years. This makes for a very large library of images. we would like to spotlight various projects and share with you some of our captivating images and videos.
2017 – Romania Blowout Response
On December 19, 2017 we received the call that a well was out of control in Romania. We immediately started our deployment and were onsite and assessing the situation in less than 36 hours.
Alberta Blowout
No two blowouts are the same and they all require unique fluid solutions to control them. Dwight Matson, former Safety Boss firefighter working on this blowout, spoke to us about how this particular wellhead was cleared and capped.
You can read the full interview with Dwight Matson here.
Kuwait 1991 – fire images and stinging the wells
Here we are sharing pictures of the ‘fields of fire’ and “stinging of wells”.
More than half the wells in Kuwait were controlled by stinging. Using a crane, crews jammed the stinger into the wellhead and kept it firmly in place while heavy mud was pumped into the well through a kill line. This overcame the natural pressure in the well bore.
Offshore Blowouts
Since the revolution in 1979, American firms had been restricted from operating in Iran. Except for Safety Boss, all of the blowout control specialists were located in the U.S. In 1984, when an offshore well in southern Iran blew out of control officials in Iran contacted Mike Miller and asked if Safety Boss could bring the well under control.

Industrial Leaders
“Safety is a key focus of any project or routine daily tasks, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Safety Boss over the last two years on large facility maintenance turnaround projects as well as smaller routine jobs and they have exceeded expectations every time.”
D Larson, Veresen
The debris of a blowout
This post used videos to show you how the debris on a blowout site is immense and requires precise work to be removed safely.
Here you can view the picture gallery of this same job site.
Tanker Fire
In the gallery featured here we were called to suppress the fire of a tanker truck in central Alberta.
This tanker truck was loaded with flammable fluid and veered off the road hitting a powerline. With the tank on fire, the local municipal fire truck tried for hours to put it out but was unable to contain the fire. More on the story here.
Northern BC Blowout
This blowout occurred in the Brassy area of north east B.C. It involved several very complicating conditions, extreme heat from 26,000 B/D of condensate, a square kelly caught mid point across the drilling table & a very soft hillside lease in spring runoff conditions.
High Angle Training
High Angle Certification is required for many of our industrial safety jobs and we understand the importance of having well trained and experienced staff. Here you will find a great gallery of pictures taken during one of our training days.
