Abstract:
A modular ‘Sea Level Gas Separator of Oil Well Effluent’ (SLGOE) unit is devised to prevent damage to the riser/conductor, as well as precluding the gas entrainment reaching the rig, upon a well blow-out. The effluent, after a blow-out, is let into ‘gas-separator’ tank of the unit, entering as a down-flow, whereby instantaneous separation of the gases is effectuated. Massively clustered top outlets let off the rising gases to a distant destination. An immensely pressured gas entrainment is attenuated by enormous receptive volume of the multiple upstream outlets of the tanks, the containing volume and pressure of a gas being inversely proportional. The gas entrainment is further precluded to entrain into the down-streaming oil of the tanks, reaching a different destination. When the drilling conductor is breached, an ‘oil separator’ tank separates the oil from admixed water, whereby the pollution of oceanic water is also precluded.

Claim (Index 3):
the prototype SLGOE unit of  claim 1 , is configured to be structured as a \u2018SLGOE modular unit\u2019 capsule, said modular capsule made of preconfigured sizes, with provisions as below:\n (a) the modular capsule, with its provisions for inlet and outlet tubing temporarily capped, is deployed about the ocean surface of the rig vicinity, \n (b) a stepwise positioning of the multiple tanks of the SLGOE unit is configured within the modular capsule, in a manner that the effluent flows from one tank to another by forces of gravity, \n (c) the \u2018SLGOE modular\u2019 unit encompassing the \u2018gas separator\u2019 tank, and the \u2018oil passage\u2019 tank, is made of steel, and stationed at a lower horizontal level than the well's \u2018diversion tubing,\u2019 terminating as an inlet tube of the gas separator tank, \n (d) the modular resists perturbations of the oceanic weathers, its barge-like base structuring resisting any upheavals to stay in an upright positioning, \n (e) the modular is either erected on a single leg, or anchored to the rig by \u2018units of metal wrings\u2019 below the surface water, the strings anchored to a leg of the rig in a hemi-hammock like arrangement, each metal string made of sturdy metal rods that prevent sideward bending or sinking of the strings, so as to maintain their desired axial length, precluding the modular approaching closer to the rig, \n (f) the multiple units of the strings fan out towards the modular where they make a grid, with an atop metal board stationing the modular, \n (g) the strings and the modular are supported by submerged metal/concrete blocks with locked in air columns, the concrete blocks in turn connected to bottom metal strings originating from the leg and radiating upwards, \n (h) as an alternative thereof, a submerged \u2018anchor\u2019 serves as a base support to the modular wherein: (i) the anchor is affixed to the rig's reinforced leg structure, the anchor's air-locking metal frame obviating strain upon the leg; (ii) the anchor-columns rise in an incline to terminate as a modular, platform made of an air-locking metal block; (iii) the anchor is stabilized by \u2018hoisting ropes\u2019 of metal that perpendicularly course from the leg, a lower of the \u2018hoisting ropes\u2019 substituted by an unit of double metal strings, the metal string made of sturdy metal rods that prevent sideward bending or sinking of the strings; (iv) submerged air-locking metal blocks stabilized by the \u2018hoisting ropes\u2019 underneath the surface water, make a pathway to the rig.
