An uncontrolled flow of gas, oil, or other fluids from a well to the atmosphere. A well may blow out when formation pressure exceeds the pressure overburden of a column of drilling fluid.

A sudden, uncontrolled flow of drilling fluid, oil, gas, or water from a wellbore when the formation pressure in a permeable formation exceeds the pressure in the borehole. A kick sometimes warns of low pressure in the borehole.

Uncontrolled flow of of oil or gas from a well which occurs when formation pressure exceeds the pressure applied to it by the column of drilling fluid. Every modern rig has a set of large control valves, known as blowout preventers, to stop the flow of oil, gas and other well fluids if problems occur during drilling.

An uncontrolled flow of pressurized wellbore fluids and/or formation fluids from the wellbore or into lower pressured subsurface zones (underground blowout). A blowout occurs when formation pressure is greater than the pressure applied to it by the column of fluids in the wellbore.
