The signal glass at the wellhead was all shattered, and there was dense smoke from the wellhead. One and a half hours later, At around 14:45, a loud noise was heard in the shaft again, and at the same time there was a big shock wave, and a second explosion occurred.

The second explosion caused more serious damage to the wellbore facilities, and also made the wellbore debris more tightly blocked, which brought greater difficulties to the clearing work.
