ABSTRACT:
Method for confining and collecting a flow of hydrocarbon fluids which are uncontrollably issuing from a source thereof at the floor of a body of water. A tension leg type floating vessel is positioned above the source of hydrocarbon fluid. An enclosure member is then detached from the vessel and guidably lowered to a location on, or adjacent the ocean floor. Escaping fluids are then received in the enclosure and directed to the water's surface.
