Abstract

"MéTODO E APARELHO PARA AUMENTAR O PODER DE FLUTUAçãO DE PLATAFORMA FLUTUANTE". A presente invenção refere-se a uma plataforma flutuante para recuperação de óleo e de gás de campos de óleo e de gás a costa inclui um casco possuindo uma porção localizada substancialmente abaixo da superfície da água e incluindo uma porção da mesma que se estende acima da superfície da água. A plataforma é ancorada junto ao leito do mar por um mais tendões seguros junto a base do casco e junto ao leito do mar. A capacidade de carga útil da plataforma flutuante é aumentada sem redesenhar o projeto estrutural do casco por ligar uma extensão de coluna ou montar um módulo de poder de flutuação destacável junto à extremidade inferior do casco para acomodar alteração nos requerimentos de carga útil da plataforma."METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING FLOATING PLATFORM POWER". The present invention relates to a floating platform for oil and gas recovery from oil and gas fields. The shore includes a hull having a portion located substantially below the water surface and including a portion thereof extending above the water surface. water surface. The platform is anchored by the seabed by one more secure tendons near the base of the hull and by the seabed. Floating platform payload capacity is increased without redesigning the structural design of the hull by attaching a column extension or mounting a detachable buoyancy power module near the lower end of the hull to accommodate changing platform payload requirements.
