Extinguishing fires at oil and gas outlets, partic. in oil and gas boring - involves turning cup-shaped container upside-down over the outlet

摘要

A cup-shaped container, inverted so that it is open at the bottom, is put over the outlet. Variants are claimed for the container material, shape and size, and for the method of placing it in position. USE/ADVANTAGE - Extinguishing fires at oil and gas outlets, in partic. oil/gas borings. As opposed to the explosion method, which is time-consuming and not always successful, the proposed extinguising system is quick, simple and reliable.
