Abstract

A method for capturing at least a portion of hydrocarbon fluids vented into the surrounding sea from a subsea discharge site comprises (a) mounting a pressure control device to the subsea discharge site. Further, the method comprises (b) flowing the vented hydrocarbon fluids from the subsea discharge site through the pressure control device. Still further, the method comprises (c) positioning a collection system subsea on a lower end of a iubular string. Moreover, the method comprises (d) flowing the vented hydrocarbons fluids from the pressure control device into the collection system and through the tubular string after (b). The method also comprises (e) minimizing lateral and vertical loads applied to the subsea discharge site by the collection system.
