The friction caused by the gas bubble pushing up the pipe and displacing the drilling mud used to control the pressure could have created a static charge that ignited the gas into a fireball.

The University of Texas just completed a major study concluding that the natural gas boom, the one that surprised everyone in recent years, is not a bubble.
