    摘要: An in situ method of mining is disclosed. In one non-limiting embodiment, the method includes: defining an ore volume; drilling a large number of vertical boreholes; forming lateral boreholes from at least some of the vertical boreholes; transporting the ore cut during drilling of the vertical and lateral boreholes to a surface location; and separating the ore received at the surface from other materials. Additional ore may be extracted fracturing and/or leaching the formation surrounding the drilled boreholes. The residual ore at the surface may be disposed by pumping it into already drilled boreholes or underground storage facilities.

    摘要: A subsea wellbore system is disclosed in which a return fluid flows from a wellbore to the surface via an annulus between a drill string and a casing and then between the drill string and a riser, wherein the system includes a device configured to prevent flow of the return fluid flowing through the annulus between the drill string and the riser, and a bypass line configured to divert the flow of the return fluid from the annulus between the drill string and the riser to the surface.
