systems and methods contain fluids discharged from a subsea well or at the surface by capping the well blowout with a pre - positioned capping device and diverting flow of hydrocarbons to a secondary location for disposal / handling in situations where casing integrity is compromised preventing ability to close in the flow of the hydrocarbons . the capping device includes at least one blind shear ram and is separate from a blowout preventer . different personnel offsite of a rig drilling the well may have access and control to operate the device .
