A system for recovering liquid hydrocarbons from hydrates on an ocean floor includes a vessel, a positioning subsystem coupled to the vessel for holding the vessel in a desired location over a hydrate formation, a hydrate recovery subsystem coupled to the vessel for delivering hydrates from an ocean floor to the vessel and separating gas from hydrates removed from an ocean floor, a gas conversion subsystem coupled to the hydrate recovery subsystem for converting gas to liquids, and a storage and removal subsystem. Excess energy from the gas conversion subsystem is used elsewhere in the system. A method of recovering hydrates from an ocean floor is also provided.

L'invention porte sur un système de récupération d'hydrocarbures liquides à partir d'hydrates au fond de l'océan comportant: un navire, un sous-système de positionnement du navire le maintenant à l'emplacement désiré au-dessus de la formation d'hydrates, un sous-système de récupération des hydrates relié au navire et transférant lesdits hydrates du fond vers le navire et séparant les gaz des hydrates ainsi récupérés, un sous-système relié au sous-système de récupération des hydrates et convertissant les gaz en liquides, et un sous-système de stockage et d'évacuation. L'énergie en excès provenant du sous-système de conversion du gaz est utilisée ailleurs dans le système. L'invention porte également sur un procédé associé de récupération des hydrates du fond de l'océan.
