During drilling blowout preventers... are connected to the top of the wellhead. These are used to shut in and control the well in the event of gas or oil being encountered at pressures higher than those exerted by the column of mud in the hole. They consist of two or three ram preventers and one bag-type preventer, and their working pressure is 3000, 5000 or 10, 000 lb/sq in, depending on the well depth and pressures expected. 5, record 13, English, - blowout%20preventer
