BP Plans to Deploy Subsea Oil Recovery System in 6-8 Days, Weather Permitting

Green Car Congress

This will mark the first time such a system will be used at this water depth (5,000 feet / 1,524 m). The system is designed to collect hydrocarbons from the well and pump them to a tanker at the surface, where they will be stored and shipped ashore. The FPSO will process the captured hydrocarbons and separate oil from water and gas.
