Specialized firefighting and well control equipment has already been transported to the region for use by the well control specialists. The well control specialists will conduct an assessment of the damaged wells and work with others to regain control of the damaged wells in the most safe and efficient manner.

Based in Spring, Texas, Wild Well Control's twenty (20) well control specialists and eight (8) well control engineers respond to well control emergencies around the world each day - onshore and offshore.

Upon conclusion of the war, Wild Well Control immediately dispatched three teams of well control specialists to Kuwait. During the course of this eight month project, Wild Well Control's teams safely capped over 130 wells.
