1. A containment system for recovering hydrocarbon fluid from a leaking device that is situated at the seafloor and that is leaking hydrocarbon fluid from a well, wherein the containment system is adapted to be landed at the seafloor corresponding to a base level of the containment system, and wherein the containment system comprises at least:
a wall extending from the base level to a first level so as to completely surround the leaking device, said wall being substantially sealed to the seafloor around said leaking device, and a dome situated above the wall and forming a cavity under said dome, said cavity being adapted for accumulating hydrocarbon fluid coming upwardly from the leaking device, said dome comprising at least one upper output opening adapted to extract the hydrocarbon fluid for recovering, andwherein the containment system further comprises a lower output opening extending up to a dome level, andwherein the wall and the dome are independent members so the wall can be landed on the seafloor before the dome is installed. |
