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 4):
The preferred prototype embodiment of the \u2018Subsea Level Gas Separator of Oil Well Effluent\u2019 (SLGOE) unit of  claim 1 , wherein incorporated into the top of the \u2018gas separator\u2019 tank is an oil disperser unit, exemplified as a \u2018spiked coil device\u2019 made of steel, said oil disperser unit having means and methods as below\u2014\n (a) the oil disperser unit is made up of (i) a \u2018dispersion coil device\u2019 of radially connected concentric circles; (ii) a central supporting vertical rod of the \u2018dispersion coil device\u2019, the rod fitted to a top structure of the tank, and (iii) a \u2018motion control\u2019 device outside the too of the tank, facilitating axial motion of said central supporting rod, \n (b) the \u2018dispersion coil\u2019 optionally has a lamp shade like configuration with a minimal incline, \n (c) the concentric circles of the dispersion coil are connected by two radially positioned members in equidistance, \n (d) the the dispersion coil is devised to having axial motion downward and upward in pre-configured intervals as a continuum, or as required when an outflow block to the tank is suspected, \n (e) the concentric circles of the \u2018dispersion coil\u2019 having downward extensions with knife-like cutting edges about the bottom, said cutting edges having spiked projections in strategic places that correspond to the positional configuration of the bottom perforations of the tank, each spike having a diameter optimally smaller than the perforations, \n (f) in a downward thrust, the spikes of the coil disrupt the blocks to the bottom perforations of the tank, whereas the cutting edges of its circles severe oil globs about the bottom of the tank, \n (g) the bottom extensions of the circles located nearer to the center are structured longer if a lamp shade configuration is elected, whereby the lower ends of the bottom extensions are in a same horizontal plane, so that all the spikes pass through the bottom perforations of the tank, in the axial downward motion of the device, \n (h) the lengthy supporting rod of the dispersion device positions the dispersion coil nearer the surface of the bottom oil column, shortening its motion and time to reach the sieved bottom of the tank, \n (i) the concentric circles of the \u2018dispersion coil\u2019 are sufficiently spaced, whereby the solid components of the effluent may not settle about the spaces, and the separated gaseous elements easily ascend to the top of the tank, \n (j) the bottom perforations of the tank are structured oblong, to allow easy passage of the solid/semisolid effluent, \n (k) the axial motion of the supporting rod of the coil device conforms to external controls structured outside the tank, and positioned inside the modular enclosure.
