Abstract: A pipe system comprising i) an exploratory pipe extracting a fluid containing gas from waterways, ii) an injection pipe returning fluid depleted of gas and iii) a plurality of gas traps, wherein I) the gas traps are connected to the exploratory pipe and to the injection pipe such that the fluid is transferred from the exploratory pipe through the gas traps to the injection pipe, II) the gas traps disposed at specific distances vertically one above the other and relative to the fluid deposits to be depleted and connected together such that rising fluid passes from the exploratory pipe to a first gas trap located at a first pressure level at which a first gas/gas mixture is separated, whereupon depleted fluid passes to a second gas trap at a predefined pressure level in which a second gas/gas mixture is separated, wherein the first pressure and the second pressure are different from one another, and III) the gas traps are connected to one or more gas extraction devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for depletion of gases from waterways, including: a pipe system, which has i) an exploration pipe for receiving the fluid containing the gas, ii) an injection pipe for returning the fluid depleted of the gas, and iii) at least one gas trap which is arranged in the device such that a selected pressure can be generated in the gas trap, wherein the gas trap is functionally connected with both the exploration pipe and the injection pipe such that the fluid can be transferred from the exploration pipe via the gas trap into the injection pipe and the gas trap is configured so as to be functionally connectable with a gas receiving device, wherein I) the gas traps are connected with both the exploration pipe and the injection pipe such that the fluid can be transferred from the exploration pipe via the gas traps into the injection pipe, II) the gas traps are arranged at certain distances vertically on top of one another and relative to the fluidic deposit to be depleted and are funct
