A deep sea mining method includes: excavating matter at a bottom of a body of water; operating a riser system for transporting a slurry of matter and water; transporting the slurry from the bottom of a body of water upwards to a slurry processing base; and maintaining a controlled riser system pressure higher than the environmental pressure inside the riser system for avoiding forming of gas and expanding of gas contained in the slurry during transporting the slurry. |
