Abstract

An open water capture device comprising: a subsea collector and a subsea containment separator connected to the subsea collector, wherein the subsea containment separator comprises a top surface, a bottom surface, an outer surface, a riser comprising a diffuser section, wherein the riser penetrates the bottom surface of the subsea containment separator, and a baffle, wherein the baffle defines a first concentric annular region and a second concentric annular region.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Patents [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 857,915, filed July 24, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to open water capture devices. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to open water capture devices including subsea containment separators and associated systems. Background technique [0004] When oil and gas are released into the sea, such as from leaking pipelines, from subterranean formations, or from subsea wellheads or blowout preventers, it is desirable to collect the oil and gas, and to contain and transport or dispose of the oil and gas , to prevent environmental pollution to the sea and nearby coastlines. Conventional methods and apparatus are described in US Patent Application Publication Nos. US2012 / 0051841, 2012 / 0051840, and 2012 / 0213587, the entire contents of ...
