<p>The invention relates to a process for obtaining deep-water hydrocarbons and an installation for applying said process. The claimed process consists in the catchment of deep water containing hydrocarbons, transporting the caught fluid through a circulation system, where the transported fluid may be optionally heated, to the discharge area where, by an adequate processing, there take place the separation and the removal of undesired components from the deep fluid, the resulting hydrocarbons being collected, purified, compressed and exploited. The claimed installation comprises a tube () for catching and conveying the deep water containing hydrocarbons, a system () for maintaining the flow of the caught fluid, a three-phase separator (), a heat exchanger () with a phase separator (), a gas meter () for conditioning the pressure and flow rate of resulting gaseous hydrocarbons, a compression system () and a system () for separating and purifying the hydrocarbons.</p> |
