ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for controlling and/or capping undersea oil or gas well blowouts are disclosed. The system includes a mound and a road bed prepared about and leading to an undersea well head, a base plate having an anchoring track and secured onto the mound and about the well head, a collar member secured to the base plate above the well head by being connected to the anchoring track thereof, a structure also erected on the base plate adjacent the well head, a capping member secured to the structure, a bag floating on the sea surface above the well head and a flexible hose connected between the collar member and the bag. Preferably, at least portions of the mound and the road bed are formed on shore of a plurality of preformed segments, then transported to and assembled in situ on the sea floor about the well head. Preferably, a remotely controlled device is provided designed to do work about the well head and accomodated on the road bed leading to the well head.
