ABSTRACT:
A device and method for extinguishing wellhead fires is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of placing a screen member directly onto said wellhead such that the area of combustion is entirely above said screen, raising said screen from said wellhead to create a distance of free-flowing but non-burning oil, and placing a diversion member into the flow path of the non-burning oil. The device comprises an apertured screen member which allows the oil to flow through the apertures while preventing the fire from burning below it.
