Abstract

La présente invention concerne une utilisation d'un fluide de flottabilité de densité inférieure à celle de l'eau de mer confiné dans une enveloppe (41, 191) rigide ou souple étanche, pour constituer un élément de flottabilité immergé (4, 19), caractérisé en ce que le dit fluide de flottabilité est un composé se trouvant naturellement à l'état gazeux à température et pression atmosphériques ambiantes, et à l'état liquide à la profondeur sous-marine à laquelle ledit élément de flottabilité est immergé. La présente invention concerne également un procédé de mise en place entre la surface et le fond de la mer d'un élément de flottabilité caractérisé en ce que le dit fluide est stocké dans un réservoir sur un navire (61) en surface à l'état liquide comprimé ou refroidi, et il est injecté à l'état liquide dans une conduite (23) depuis la surface (61) ou il est stocké jusque dans une dite enveloppe immergée (41, 191) à une profondeur sous marine à laquelle la pression sous-marine est supérieure ou égale à la pression de vapeur du gaz correspondant audit composé à la température à la dite profondeur.
