- the drilling operation may or may not be halted during installation of the ECS 100.
- the ECS 100 may be deployed by the MODU 250 or any other vessel having an ROV and a hoist.

- the BOP stack 1 and the MODU 250 may be repaired or replaced and drilling operations may resume or the wellbore may be plugged and abandoned through the BOP stack. If damage to the MODU 250 is extensive (i.e., sunk to the seafloor), then the vessel 200 may remain in place while a relief well is drilled using a new MODU (not shown). [0027] If closure of the blind-shear preventer 10b fails or is only partially successful, then the ROV 205 may be used to deploy and connect the vessel umbilical 151 v to the vessel junction plate 150v.

- the production fluid from the blowing wellbore may be allowed to flow to production facilities (not shown) located on board the vessel 200 via the choke/kill line 154. If capacity of the production facilities is greater than or equal to the production (blowout) rate of the wellbore, the choke valve 156c may be controlled to maintain a positive pressure differential in the BOP stack 1 (relative to ambient pressure at the seafloor 201f), such as greater than or equal to one psig. Production fluid may flow to the vessel through the umbilical and to the production facilities where the production fluid may be separated into crude oil, natural gas, and (produced) water. The crude oil may be stored onboard the vessel or transferred to a tanker or supertanker (not shown).
- the gas may be flared.
- the water may be stored for later treatment or treated and pumped into the sea.
- the BOP stack 1 and/or the ECS 100 may further include a pressure sensor (not shown) in fluid communication with the respective choke/kill line/tie-in 54, 154 and in data communication with the ECS controller 105.

- the ROV 205 may visually monitor the BOP stack 1 for leakage to ensure that the pressure differential is being maintained.
- the choke 156c may be kept fully open and the excess production fluid may leak into the sea 201 and, as discussed above, dispersant may be injected into the blind-shear preventer port via the injection lines 52, 152.
- the ECS 100 may be operated by the MODU 250, the new MODU, or any other vessel having acoustic transmission capability, an ROV, and/or fluid handling capability.
- the acoustic signal 240 may be sent by any vehicle having acoustic transmission capability, such as a helicopter dropping an acoustic transmission buoy.
- the ECS 100 may not be deployed until after the blowout occurs.
- the step of sending the acoustic signal may be omitted as the ECS 100 may be lowered with the vessel umbilical 151v already connected and the ROV may connect the BOP umbilical 151 b or the ROV may connect both umbilicals 151 b,v.

Abstract
L'invention porte sur un système de commande de secours (ECS) pour un bloc obturateur de puits sous-marin (BOP), lequel système comprend un châssis ayant une semelle de boue destinée à s'appliquer sur un fond de mer; un accumulateur ECS relié au châssis; une interface de BOP reliée au châssis et qui peut se connecter à l'interface d'un cheminée de BOP; une vanne reliée au châssis et qui peut transférer du fluide hydraulique de l'accumulateur ECS à l'interface; un récepteur acoustique; et une unité de commande pouvant recevoir un signal d'instruction en provenance du récepteur acoustique et ouvrir la vanne.
