Definitions
- the present invention concerns an assembly forming a containment system for run-away subsea wells.
- Said system comprises a sleeve with dimensions larger than the relevant Blow-Out Preventer (BOP) device of the oil-well topped by a frustrum roof forming a funnel above the BOP, said roof being equipped with an exhaust chimney with a closure valve including a connection device for anchoring sealing and/or anchoring equipment to said exhaust chimney, the assembly further comprising a number of suction anchor pods disposed at the periphery of the sleeve, said sleeve also including an injection inlet for grout at its base and said roof including at least one injection inlet for methanol and at least one outlet oil/water/methanol mixture.
- the sleeve may in a preferred embodiment include a level gauge for monitoring the level of injected grout.
- One of the problems to be solved with the present invention is to provide a containment system for run-away oil wells in deep-sea drilling.
- BOP blow-out preventer
- BOPs according to the prior art include the device disclosed in US patent 4.416.565 A comprising a cylinder with a funnel-shaped roof being constructed as a chimney with a valve to be placed over a well with an uncontrolled blow-out.
- the cylinder has an exit leading oil and gas to the surface.
- the containment system according to the present invention comprises the following elements:
- a sleeve (preferably cylindrical) (item 1A) , in one embodiment approximately 4 m in diameter and 12 m high (the dimensions being adjusted to the relevant BOP over which the sleeve is to fit, specified by the supplier of the BOP) ;
- an exhaust chimney (item 1C) (in one embodiment with a diameter of up to 36") equipped with a closure valve and crowned by a flange, which can be used as a base for anchoring and sealing equipment or pipe landed at the top of the chimney in the event of unforeseen intervention.
- the suction anchor pods may in one embodiment have a diameter of about 1.5 m and will include penetration marks and pressure control valves.
- a grouting system comprising manifolded injection lines (item 3A) at the base of the sleeve and a level gauge (item 3B) at the top of the sleeve.
- a methanol injection system comprising small bore branched pipes (item 4A) piercing the conical roof of the sleeve and preferably associated with a gauge (4B) which measures the relative concentration of seawater and
- outlets (item 5) at the base of the chimney each activated by a closure valve and connected to an export riser conveying the oily mixture to the sea surface. While one outlet only should normally be open at any time, the other inactive outlets would enhance the redundancy of the export system in the event of the active line becoming clogged. Furthermore, using a different diameter for each outlet line, e.g. from a diameter of 6" to a diameter of 12", would allow adapting to variations in the debit of the uncontrolled well and hence optimize the flow in the riser throughout the duration of the operation.
- the number of outlet/export lines (item 5) could be 2, 3 or 4, possibly more, each optionally characterized by a specific diameter different from each other.
- outlet lines would also make the containment system according to the present invention more versatile.
- the outlet line in use is clogging up through the (unforeseen) formation of hydrates or an unexpected production of sand
- the material of the parts of the device/system according to the present invention is to be metal or a metal alloy withstanding the conditions of pressure and temperature existing at the oil-well in question. Also the metal or metal alloy should be non-corrosive (at least for a period of time relevant for making the oil-well safe) .
- the metal of choice is steel, tempered steel or stainless steel.
- the present invention also includes a process for stopping the oil and gas outflow from a run-away oil-well
- the process for stopping such outflow includes the following steps:
- the container/sleeve is lowered over the BOP with the main chimney valve open to allow free exhaust of the oil and gas bursting from the top of the (damaged) BOP.
- Methanol may be injected through line (4) at this early stage to prevent hydrate formation and clogging of the chimney .
- valves of the suction pods (2) are activated in order to create a hydrostatic depression sufficient to drive the main container (1) deep into the sea bottom, and hence achieve adequate sealing at its base.
