Boots & Coots is a well control company. It was founded in 1978 by Asger "Boots" Hansen and Ed "Coots" Matthews,[1]
veterans of Red Adair Service and Marine Company. The two companies put out about one third of the more than
700 oil well fires set in Kuwait by retreating Iraqi soldiers in the Gulf War.[2][3] This work was featured in the 1992 film
Lessons of Darkness.
另外一大部分是Red Adair的公司扑灭的，这个哥们是个传奇开创了油井灭火这个行业使其成为专业化。他当时也参与了
油井灭火。当时这哥们已经75岁了，参加过二战的。
He founded Red Adair Co. Inc. in 1959, and over the course of his career battled more than 2,000 land and
offshore oil well, natural gas well, and similar spectacular fires. Adair gained global attention in 1962 when he
tackled a fire at the Gassi Touil gas field in the Algerian Sahara nicknamed the Devil's Cigarette Lighter, a 450-foot (140 m)
pillar of flame that burned from 12:00 PM November 13, 1961, to 9:30 AM on April 28, 1962.
In December 1968, Adair sealed a large gas leak at an Australian gas and oil platform off Victoria's southeast coast.[2]
这些都是传奇事迹，估计行内人事一看就知道，难度有多大。
At age 75, Adair took part in extinguishing the oil well fires in Kuwait set by retreating Iraqi troops after the Gulf War in 1991.
Adair retired in 1993, and sold The Red Adair Service and Marine Company to Global Industries.
鸟的大牛太多了，一个人开创一个行业。其他国家真实望尘莫及，在后面能看着鸟抛起的灰尘就不错了。

中国有些单位承接了科威特灭火合同，但是费了很大劲，并没有赚取较大利润，还是各种红毛厉害。                               参考：庞天海. 科威特油井灭火概况和经验[J]. 钻采工艺, 1992, 015(003):17-20.
