Abstract: A system for monitoring flaring activities on a drill ship includes a plurality of devices in wireless communication with each other on the drill ship. Each of the devices includes a resistive temperature detector configured to determine a temperature within a sensing area of the resistive temperature detector, and a communication device operably connected to the resistive temperature detector, wherein the communication device is configured to receive the temperature data from the resistive temperature detector and send the temperature data to a remote system. The device may also include a global positioning system operably connected to the communication device, the global positioning system configured to identify a location of the drill ship in real-time and send the location data to the communication device, wherein the communication device is configured to send the location data to the remote system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for containing a subsea flow of hydrocarbons includes a water intake. The water intake is operable to be positioned downstream of the subsea flow of hydrocarbons. A receiving facility is located at a surface of a sea. A suction hose extends from the water intake to the receiving facility. A suction system is operable to reduce a fluid pressure within the water intake.
