Title: Subsea hydrocarbon containment system and method
Inventor: COUCH JACK W
IPC: E02B15/04
Filed: 2009-08-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a passive subsea hydrocarbon containment system 10 for containing hydrocarbons in a fluid i.e. seawater. The system 10 comprises a subsea separator having a dome shaped void with a substantially closed upper end 23, a substantially open lower end 26, a hydrocarbon separator 33 disposed in an upper portion 30, an oil pathway 40 disposed within the collection dome and in fluid communication with a hydrocarbon separator storage area 26, and a gas outlet pipe 50. The gas out pipe has a discharge height in relation to the height of the oil pathway 40 sufficient to keep a portion of the oil pathway 40 submerged into the seawater present in the collection dome interior void. The hydrocarbon containment system can be moored subsea and used to collect oil and gas coming out of the ocean floor. One advantage of the hydrocarbon containment system is that there are no moving parts. A further advantage is that the hydrocarbon containment system requires limited maintenance to pump out the collected oil as needed. A later embodiment relates to a method of using such a system.
