MIFIS CONCEPT: A PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATION FOR BLOW-OUTRECOVERY
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
In the present work, a method for the prompt and remediation of offshore Blowouts and seabed hydrates’intervention is presented. The method is a modified version of DIFIS System, an EU FP6 proposed solution forthe oil recovery from tankers wreck. It relies on gravity to channel the blow-out mixture towards the surface. Two(2) components are used for the oil/water/gas separation (PG-BBS) and oil/water storage (BB). These componentsare placed a 300 m and 30 meters below the sea surface respectively, unaffected by the weather conditions. Thisis achieved by a quickly deployable flexible structure (MIFIS) that should stay in place until the well is emptiedor appropriate sealed in order to eliminate the pollution threat. The PG-BBS and BB reservoirs are provided withstandard equipment through which shuttle vessels can recover the oil and gas rapidly, using standardoffshore/subsea equipment. As an innovative system, the principal investigation (operational environment, systemcomponents’ description, structural requirements/specifications, design guidelines) was carried out. Theparameters were used for the Technical Feasibility study where the concept was evaluated. The final results canbe used for the implementation of new innovative research projects and solutions in Offshore/Subsea industry.
