Explanation:
Blowout = Reventón (reffering to oil wells). Capping techniques = Técnicas de control de producción (oil wells).Snubbing = Amortiguación o Socavación (sorry, not sure). Coiled tubing = serpentín or tubería enrollada (depends on context). Nitrogen = Nitrógeno. Hot tap = Reparación en marcha (en operación), p.e. de tubería de bombeo o de producción. Freezing = not sure, but Freeze-out es bloquear (referring to oil production). Workover = Reoperar un pozo de petróleo, es decir reparar/ajustar y ponerlo a operar luego de estar fuera de servicio. Rig fire = Fuego en una cabria o torre de perforación de petróleo. Surface blowout = Reventón en la superficie (en contraposición de internamente en el pozo). Pumping weel = Pozo en producción o pozo de bombeo,(depende del contexto). Espero te sea de ayuda.

reventón

Explanation:
He visto "hot tap" en un manual de reparaciones en gasoductos que traduje hace un tiempo. No se traduce, es un tipo de trabajo específico que se hace en caliente, sin sacar la cañería de servicio.
Te paso un sitio de Petroleos de Mexico, donde está la revista Ductos; tal vez allí encuentras varios de estos términos.
