A CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR USING SAID CONTAINMENT SYSTEM.

摘要

A containment system (1) for recovering hydrocarbon fluid from a leaking device (2) comprising a dome (20) sealed to the seafloor around the leaking device and forming a cavity (21) for accumulating hydrocarbon fluid. The dome comprises an upper output opening (22) for extracting the hydrocarbon fluid, and an over pressure valve (23) for extracting fluid out from the cavity to the environment if pressure inside the cavity is too high.
