Oil well fire extinguishing apparatus

A method for controlling the flow of fluid from a well comprising the steps of:

• a. positioning a well pipe extension securing, sealing, and controlling apparatus to a position directly above the well pipe;
• b. lowering said apparatus over the well pipe until such well pipe extends through said securing and sealing features of said apparatus;
• c. securing said apparatus to said well pipe by actuating said securing features thereof;
• d. sealing said apparatus to said well pipe by actuating said sealing features thereof;
• and
• e. controlling said flow by actuating said controlling features thereof.

A method for controlling the flow of fluid from a well comprising:

• a. positioning an open-ended pipe slot of a clamping base of a well pipe extension apparatus to a point where the open end of said pipe slot of said clamping base is adjacent to said well pipe;
• b. further positioning said clamping base to a point where said well pipe is inserted in said pipe slot of said clamping base;
• c. securing said clamping base to said well pipe by actuating a securing means within the clamping base;
• d. rotating a pivotally mounted sealing means with the well pipe extension attached thereto, until the well pipe extension is centered over the secured well pipe;
• e. lowering said pivotally mounted well pipe extension and sealing means until such well pipe extends into said sealing means of said well pipe extension;
• f. sealing said well pipe extension to said well pipe by actuating said sealing means;
• and
• g. controlling said flow by actuating a controlling means located in the well pipe extension.

• h. clamping a clamping sleeve to the sealing means and the well pipe to which the sealing means is sealed;
• i. detaching said well pipe extension and sealing means away from the clamping base;
• j. opening said securing means within the clamping base;
• k. removing said clamping base from the well head.
