Opinions please
I've been thinking about this situation, I have no training in oil, but I do have some logic background as an investigator. Here are the clues:
1. Steam developed only after 2 weeks of burning.
2. Water coming from the bottom of the well would have risen as steam as it is 300 degrees down there.
3. Once the fire was out, the steam stopped, and water continued to flow from that point on.
4. The steam started at a gradual pace, with concentration continuing to increase until the well fire was extinguished.
Conclusion:
1. A crack developed in the pipe, drawing water into the pipe.
2. The rushing gas pulled the water into the pipe with such force that the water gradually eroded away the pipe, causing greater amounts of water to be sucked into the flow.
3. Finally, when the hole got big enough, gas flowed into the water chamber, which then pumped the water into the pipe, at that point the flame was extinguished, and only a flow of water continued and not steam.
4. Since no steam followed once the flame was out, the water must have been being turned into steam at the point of combustion, and therefore was not coming from the base of the well.
5. If they let the well flow, and the water cavity empties, we will see the original flow again.
6. If the water was from the bottom of the well, then it would have continued as steam after the fire was out.
This flow of water just might have been the miracle that we were waiting for.
