Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for wrapping a cable around a pipe construction, in particular a method for making a flow line bundle in which an umbilical is wrapped around a flow line, and to a flow line-umbicical assembly.
  • the known helical winding and assemblage of the pipe sections and umbilical requires one free end of the umbilical, which is unwound from a reel and helically wrapped around each pipe section prior to attachment of said pipe sections to the partially assembled flow line.
  • said method is unpractical.
  • the complete flow line-umbilical arrangement must be dismantled to change the non-functional part of the flow line because of the very tight helical wrapping of the umbilical. The same applies when a defect in the umbilical occurs or when after installation one or more umbilicals must be replaced by a new one.
  • a part of the cable is locally wrapped around the pipe construction between two spaced apart connection points.
  • the method of the present invention also allows to first install the flow line, and after testing thereof place the umbilical cables around the flow line.
  • the flow line needs not be dismantled and can in certain circumstances remain operative during change-out of the umbilical.
  • the firmness of the wrapping pattern of the cable can be easily adapted to the water depth and flow line characteristics (flexible versus rigid) by adjusting the distance between first and second connection points, and by adjusting the cable length extending between those points.
  • connection points can be separate clamps placed around the pipe construction having a guide opening for receiving the cable or can be formed as a part of integral coupling members of the pipe sections, such as flanges having separate attachment means for the cable.
  • the cable may be attached to the pipe in the first and second connection points by means of clamps. Thereafter the cable may be connected to a further clamp which is connected to the pipe at the third connection point and which is thereafter rotated to wrap the cable around the pipe segment while the first and second clamps are stationary. It is also possible to connect the cable to the pipe at the first and second connection points, then wrap the middle section around the pipe and thereafter connect the middle section fixedly to the pipe at the third connection point. Finally it is also possible to first fix the cable at the third connection point, to connect the cable at the first and second connection point which are then rotated and finally fixed to the pipe to wrap the cable locally around the pipe.
  • a further embodiment of the method according to the present invention comprises the steps of:
  • the method according to the present invention allows a cheap and fast wrapping of an umbilical cable around the flow line, especially on the limited deck space of an installation vessel.
  • the cable can be slidably connected to the first and second connection points such that upon wrapping of the cable around the pipe construction an extra tension is placed on the cable of the adjacent segments.
  • Figures 1a to 1c show a flow line 1 made of flexible or rigid piping for the transportation of hydrocarbons from a subsea structure to a surface structure such as a floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO), a tension leg platform, a shuttle tanker or other vessel.
  • FPSO floating production, storage and offloading vessel
  • a tension leg platform such as a floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO)
  • FPSO floating production, storage and offloading vessel
  • a tension leg platform such as a floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO), a tension leg platform, a shuttle tanker or other vessel.
  • FPSO floating production, storage and offloading vessel
  • a tension leg platform such as a floating production, storage and offloading vessel
  • shuttle tanker or other vessel.
  • Cable length 5 extending between the connection members 1, 2 is longer than the distance between the connection members i, 2 measured along the flow line 1.
  • the umbilical 5 is wrapped around the flow line section that extend
  • connection member 6 is rotatably connected to the flow line 4, such that by turning said element the umbilical 5 can be tightened around the flow line 1.
  • engaging means may be provided on the connecting members 1, 2 for blocking any further movement of the umbilical 5 upon engagement thereof.
  • Figures 2a and 2b show another method of wrapping an umbilical 10 around segments 7, 8 of flow line 9.
  • Each segment is near its end provided with flanges 12, 13 for mutually attaching to a neighbouring segment.
  • the first and second connection members 15, 16 are attached to the flow line.
  • the connection members 15, 16 are integrated with the flanges 12, 13.
  • the umbilical 10 may be wrapped around each flow line segment 7, 8 several times as shown in figure 2b.
  • a third connection member may be applied at positions 18 and 19, shown in figure 2b for maintaining the umbilical 10 in its wrapped around configuration.
  • FIGs 3 and 4 show a connection member 20 with a central opening 21 which can be fixed around a pipe segment.
  • the connection member 20 consists of two halves 22, 23 which are attached by bolts 24, 25.
  • the connection member 20 comprises a clamping part 26 in which a cable 27 can clampingly engaged, as is clearly shown in figure 4.
  • an umbilical being wrapped around a flow line
  • it can also be applied to other cables such as a bundle of umbilicals, a bundle of electrical cables or a combination of umbilicals, electrical cables and/or flowlines.
