Subsea deepwater petroleum fluid spill containment

摘要

A subsea deepwater petroleum fluid spill containment device that can be quickly deployed to the site of a deepwater well blowout or similar eruption of petroleum fluids on or near the ocean floor to be sunk and positioned over the eruption, capture the petroleum fluid preventing it entering and polluting the environment, separate the constituents of oil, water and gas into disparate components subsea and inside of the collection device clean them, deliver the clean produced water to the subsea water and utilizing the hydraulic hydrostatic head pressure of the waters depth, if at least 4500 feet deep, deliver dewatered oil to surface storage with sufficient pressure to eliminate the need for mechanical pumping and the filtered gas at sufficient pressure for storage in a CNG container ship.
