Project Number 85
Date of Summary December 31, 1985
Subject Subsea Collection of Blowing Oil and Gas
Performing Activity Brown and Root Development, Inc.
Principal Investigator Mr. E. Earl Peebles
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Complete
Description As oil and gas activities move into deeper and more distant waters, the use of conventional spilled-oil recovery equipment requires further analysis. The prospects are attractive for using large, self-contained collection ships which can deploy subsea collectors over blowing wellheads while remaining on station in heavy weather, recovering oil, and separating out water. An engineering concept and cost analysis of such a system was performed.
