they do use explosions in oil fire's and i'd imagine it's simply smothering the fire with dislodged earth caused by the explosion, plus sealing it will cut off the oxygen supply. Simply a big fire bucket of sand.

You want a good movie example that's actually based on Red Adair, go get 'Hellfighters' (1968) with John Wayne, Katherine Ross, Jim Hutton & Vera Miles.
It shows them going it multiple times, from clearing the damaged rig structure, rigging the charges on the special tractors, and then not only blowing it out, but placing the control head on, bolting it down ~carefully~, and then spinning the valve-wheel to close off the gushing oil.
'Nuff Said.

Think of it this way, it's like blowing on a candle, but instead of a few ounces of force, your blowing on it with a tens of thousands of pounds of force.

Didn't you fools watch MacGyver? There was a good episode about it
The explosion displaces the jet of flamible substance away from the flame,and explosively sucks oxygen out of the surrounding area

If MacGyver did it then it must be true.
