The HOTCO DWOC(tm) deep water oil catcher can be employed subsea to capture all of the fluids emanating from a well blowout or other high pressure leak. The captured oil, water and gas will be separated and cleaned inside the container. Utilizing the deepwater hydrostatic head pressure gas and oil will be delivered pressurized and separately to the surface and the cleaned water and extraneous debris settled to the ocean floor. The container shall be large enough to accommodate hydrates and hydrate inhibitor and/or heating can be incorporated. A large volume HOTCO DWOC(tm) oil catcher costing a few million USD utilized on the Macondo well blowout would have captured over $400,000,000.00 worth of oil and gas and saved USD Billions in cleanup cost and other losses.

The HOTCO DWOC(tm) oil catcher can be manufactured in a shipyard to be launched and transported to proximity of deep water drilling sites for standby and deployment in emergency situations such as the Macondo well blow-out.

At the present time the E & P companies have no method or means, on hand, for capturing, at the source, petroleum fluids emanating from a subsea leak that can't be capped at the wellhead. Just as with the Macondo GOM disaster million of barrels of petroleum fluids will contaminate the environment before the flow can be stopped. The HOTCO DWOC TM deep water oil catcher will capture, contain and clean all of the produced oil, water and gas erupting from a deep water high pressure leak on the ocean floor before it can enter the surrounding environment. Just as liability insurance, purchased with the hope it is never needed, the availability of a method and means, that can be employed in hours, not weeks or months, to prevent the devastation caused by an unbridled subsea petroleum leak should be mandatory. There will be no excuse for the USD billions worth of destruction next time. But at the present time drilling in deep water is continuing without adequate protection.

HOTCO Engineering is offering a USD one million finders fee for a "sales lead" that is consummated to a contract.
