摘要：An apparatus for preventing offshore oil well pollution resulting from offshoreoil well blowouts or pipe line ruptures. The apparatus includes a sloping cylindricalmember having a conical bottom wall open at its upper end. The device is centered overthe leak so that the oil passes up into the device through the open top of the conicalbottom wall. In the case of a low pressure leak the oil flows down the upper face of theconical wall and is collected in a sump within the apparatus from which it can be pumped.In the case of high pressure blowouts valve plates are provided which can behydraulically closed to contain the oil spout which then flows into a sump in theapparatus surrounding the conical bottom wall. This sump also may be emptied bypumping. In both instances fire extinguishing gases may be pumped into the device incase ignition of the gas and oil should occur.
