The HOTCO DWOC(tm) deep water oil catcher can be employed subsea to capture all of the fluids emanating from a well blowout or high pressure leak. The captured oil, water and gas will be separated and cleaned inside the container. The gas and oil will be delivered separately to the surface and the deoiled water and extraneous debris settled to the ocean floor. The container is large enough to accommodate hydrates plus hydrate inhibitor and/or heating can be incorporated. A 40' diameter x 300' tall HOTCO DWOC(tm) oil catcher costing $6,000,000.00 -$10,000,000.00 utilized on the Macondo well blow-out would have captured over $200,000,000.00 worth of oil and saved $$ Billions in cleanup cost and other losses.

such as the Macondo well blow-out.
