Abstract: A system for monitoring for gas and oil flow venting from a surface using time intervals, size and velocity, and using an analysis processor with a data storage containing a bubble flow classification and bubble flow categories. The data storage receives at least one of: video feed, logging while drilling data feed, seismic profile data feed, drilling parameter data feed, measurement while drilling data feed, sonar data feed, hydrographic data feed and a laser data feed to verify a determined bubble flow category and bubble flow classification as a baseline bubble flow classification and provides an alarm when a bubble flow emergency is ascertained due to a change in bubble flow classification without an anticipated change or changes outside predefined acceptable limits within the video feed, logging while drilling data feed, seismic profile data feed, drilling parameter data feed, measurement while drilling data feed, sonar data feed, hydrographic data feed and a laser data feed.

Abstract: A system for monitoring for gas and oil flow venting from a surface using time intervals, size and velocity, and using a processor with a data storage containing a bubble flow classification chart and bubble flow categories. The data storage receives at least one: video feed, drilling parameter data feed, seismic profile data feed, logging while drilling data feed, measurement while drilling data feed, sonar data feed, and hydrographic data feed to verify a determined bubble flow category and bubble flow classification as a baseline bubble flow classification and provides an alarm when a bubble flow emergency is ascertained due to a change in bubble flow classification without an anticipated change or changes outside predefined acceptable limits within the video feed, drilling parameter data feed, seismic profile data feed, logging while drilling data feed, sonar data feed, hydrographic data feed, or measurement while drilling data feed.

Abstract: A marine well with shallow-water flow monitoring is for monitoring an open hole section of the marine well during marine drilling operations. The shallow water flow monitoring system uses time periods and intervals while mud pumps are turned off. The system uses a video feed, and a processor with data storage containing a discharge category model, and wherein the data storage receives a drilling parameter data feed, a seismic profile data feed, a logging while drilling data feed, and a measurement while drilling data feed, to verify a determined discharge category as a baseline discharge category. The system provides an alarm when a discharge emergency is ascertained due to a change in discharge category without an anticipated change or changes outside acceptable limits.
