Abstract:
A sealable pipe adaptor is mounted directly on a hydrocarbon well head. A central branch is used for a drilling operation. The central branch has a first valve that is normally open and controllable during the drilling operation. The first valve contains a first sensor that is a shut-off sensor that shuts the first valve when a gush of oil or gas flow above a first preset safety threshold is detected. A first side branch has a second valve that is controllable during the drilling operation and during a production mode. The first side branch valve has a second sensor that opens the second valve when detecting a rogue hydrocarbon flow so that the rogue hydrocarbon flow is directed through the first side branch. The first side branch is connected to storage. A second side branch is connected to a production pipe. The first side branch has a third valve controllable from a production collection terminal. The third valve is normally closed during the drilling operation and is normally open during the production mode. The third valve contains a third sensor that is a shut-off sensor that shuts the third valve when a gush of oil or gas flow that is above a second preset safety threshold is detected.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for using a sealable multi-branch pipe adaptor to control gushing rogue hydrocarbon, the method comprising:\n controlling gushing rogue hydrocarbon through a central branch of the sealable pipe adaptor during a drilling operation using a first valve containing a first sensor that is a shut-off sensor that shuts the first valve when a gush of hydrocarbon flow above a first preset safety threshold is detected; controlling gushing rogue hydrocarbon through a first side branch of the sealable multi-branch pipe adaptor during the drilling operation using a second valve controlled from the production collection terminal, the second valve having a second sensor that opens the second valve when detecting a gushing rogue hydrocarbon during drilling operation, such that the gushing rogue hydrocarbon is directed through the first side branch; and, controlling gushing rogue hydrocarbon through a second side branch of the sealable multi-branch pipe adaptor, the second side branch being connected to a production pipe using a second valve controlled from a production collection terminal, the second valve using a third sensor that is a shut-off sensor that shuts the second valve when a gush of hydrocarbon flow that is above a second preset safety threshold is detected.
