SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING SENSORS, MARKERS, AND FLUID FLOWS

摘要

A system and method for channeling fluids from underwater to the surface. Including a channel system for channeling the fluids from an oil leak through the channel system starting from an underwater pipe leak to a containment reservoir at a sea surface. In one aspect, the channel system is made up of interchange parts, where some are flexible, attachable, and/or can influence the flow of the fluids inside the channel system.

主权项

1: An underwater system for monitoring flow of a fluid product flowing from at least one point source below a surface of a body of water, comprising:
a fluid product channeling structure positioned relative to the at least one point source so that the fluid product flows upwardly toward the surface of the body of water through a fluid inlet; a riser structure connected to the fluid inlet; and a plurality of sensor markers introduced into the fluid product flowing from the point source into the fluid riser; wherein an xyz coordinate of each of the plurality of sensor markers is tracked over time to track its position.
