Deepwater Oil Containment Methods and Structures, Underwater Oil Containment Bubbles, Domes, Tents, Bags and Other Flexible Structures

摘要

Large-volume oil containment bubbles, domes, tents, silos and other flexible structures are provided, especially using an oil-impermeable, water-permeable material such as uncoated nylon. A relatively light-weight flexible structure can be arrayed at sea surface, and dispatched downwards to deepwater such as by adding weighting pellets in hollow region(s).
