Is there a chance that the hole creates a mini volcano that cannot be stopped?

This is actually the risk I came here to mention about deep bores.

Bore first, build later, otherwise you may be the unlucky winner of a fluid formation trapped under a rigid formation in the local geology.

One assumes well blowouts will be a serious problem, as with any energy extraction.
