Large-scale three stand semi-submerged formula oil storage production platform of high performance
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ocean engineering, in particular to a high-performance large-scale three-upright semi-submersible oil storage production platform.
Background
The deep water floating production platform is a main facility for deep water oil field development, and as one of typical floating platform concepts, the semi-submersible platform has a development course of more than fifty years and has wide application in marine oil and gas development. Along with the expansion of ocean oil gas development to deep sea areas, the semi-submersible production platform technology gradually develops from small and medium-sized single functions to multifunctional integrated comprehensive platforms, such as drilling, production, oil storage, drilling, production and oil storage, and the requirements on the loading capacity of the platform are greatly improved, and the drainage capacity is also greatly increased.
For a large semi-submersible platform with 2 ten thousand tons of upper production facilities and 2 ten thousand square oil storage functions, the existing traditional four-upright semi-submersible ship is adopted, and the design displacement is usually about 10 ten thousand tons. Although the technology has the advantage of mature technology, the disadvantage is that the steel is large in amount, the construction and installation cost is high, and the movement performance is also insufficient; particularly, the 2-ten thousand-ton-level ultra-large upper facility assembly module and the semi-submersible hull are in butt joint integration, ultra-large lifting equipment with 2-ten-thousand-ton-level lifting capacity is required, the difficulty is high, the risk is high, and only few shipyards in the world can be built.
Chinese patent CN201610633132.7 proposes a high effective load ratio light semi-submersible production platform, adopts a three-upright semi-submersible ship type, has good economy, is suitable for medium and small marginal oil fields, but has the defects of no oil storage capacity, smaller effective load of upper facilities and certain limitation on applicable water depth.
The payload ratio is an important indicator of the weight of the floating production platform, defined as the ratio of the upper facility payload weight to the lower floating body steel weight of the platform. For a floating oil storage production platform, the integrated load ratio is defined as the ratio of the upper facility weight of the platform plus the oil storage weight to the lower float steel weight. Under the same conditions, the higher the integrated load ratio, the higher the floating body efficiency of the floating platform, and the better the overall economy.
The wet oil storage by oil-water displacement is to store crude oil and ballast water in the same oil storage tank, and according to the principle of physics, oil and water naturally form an oil-water interface to isolate the oil from the water because the density of the oil is lower than that of the water, and the oil floats on the water. Dry storage typically separates oil from ballast water, and therefore requires the provision of a ballast water tank of comparable volume to that of the storage, which is one time the volume of the oil-water displacement wet storage, greatly increasing the cost of the overall storage. The oil-water replacement oil storage can obviously reduce the oil storage cost, and can avoid the risk that the volatilization of the crude oil in the traditional dry oil storage can cause combustion explosion accidents. Since 1960, the technology was applied to the gulf of mexico, and is widely applied to a plurality of shallow water stationary platforms such as the gulf of bos, the north sea, canada and the like, but has not been applied to a floating deep water semi-submersible platform. The conventional dry type oil storage is generally adopted in the existing large-scale semi-submersible type oil storage platform, and the cost is high.
In summary, there are many areas where the conventional large-scale semi-submersible oil storage production platform needs to be improved in terms of effective load ratio, economy and athletic performance, and it is necessary to develop a large-scale semi-submersible oil storage production platform with better economy and athletic performance, so as to meet the requirements of deep water large-scale oil and gas field development.
