Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for receiving and storage of at least two separate windable pipes.
  • the operations of laying a flexible pipe must sometimes be interrupted urgently, for example in the event of a storm. This interruption is carried out using either a winch unwinding a steel cable which is connected to the flexible pipe, so as to deposit on the seabed one end of a portion of the flexible pipe which was in the phase of depot, a secondary pipe of the flexible pipe type, as well as is described in FR-A-2 056 428.
  • surface equipment such as a installation, include different receiving and storage means, some of these means being allocated to the main flexible pipe of production and some others being assigned to secondary lines by opposition to the main flexible pipe.
  • the means of receiving and storing the main pipes and secondary must be very large.
  • baskets are generally used and are similar to that shown in the drawings of patents US-A-3,804,111, US-A-3,941,146 and FR-A-2,151,467.
  • Such baskets have an outside diameter between 10 and 15 m.
  • Secondary pipes such as a hose of abandonment, like the one represented in FR 2056428, are wound on coils with a load limited to 250-300 tonnes, which corresponds to a secondary pipe length of between 1500 and 2000 m.
  • the capacity of the baskets makes it possible to store either a very long flexible pipe length, i.e. several pipes different, different lengths and diameters.
  • the basket loading is carried out according to the installation sequence of pipes. This is how the first line loaded at the bottom of the basket will be the last one to be laid, while the last pipe loaded in the basket will be the first to be placed.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a device which can receive and store at least one main line and one secondary driving on the same means, so as to reduce space occupied by this means of storage on the deck of the laying ship or a other equivalent surface device from which said pipes are manipulated.
  • the present invention relates to a receiving device and for storing at least two separate rollable pipes, one of which is constituted by a first main flexible pipe used in a offshore oil exploitation, said device comprising a first and a second cylindrical structure of different diameters, the first main flexible pipe being received and stored in a first cylindrical structure, the two cylindrical structures being concentric, movable in rotation about a substantially vertical axis of rotation and having an open upper face and a lower face closed by a bottom plate, and means for rotating said structures cylindrical, and it is characterized in that the second secondary pipe is arranged in the second cylindrical structure which comprises three separate and concentric housing, the two internal extreme housing and being external for receiving and storing said second pipe secondary, the middle housing constituting a transition zone for the passage of said secondary pipe between the internal and external housings.
  • An advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that it is possible to receive and store two pipes of different structures, similar, analogous or identical in the same device such as basket, with a smaller footprint than in installations earlier. In addition, it is possible to wind and unwind the pipes stored in the corresponding cylindrical structures independently one from the other.
  • the median housing includes a support and guide member for the second secondary line during its passage between the end top of one extreme housing at the bottom end of the other extreme housing.
  • Figures 3a to 3f are schematic representations in view from above the winding of the secondary pipe.
  • the device for receiving and storing pipes comprises a first cylindrical structure 1 of axis A substantially vertical and a second cylindrical structure 2, concentric with the first structure cylindrical 1.
  • first cylindrical structure 1 of axis A substantially vertical
  • second cylindrical structure 2 concentric with the first structure cylindrical 1.
  • other internal cylindrical structures S are also provided for and used to house other organs necessary for the rotation of the device assembly, which organs being well known to specialists, they will not be described in detail. These other structures constitute the barrel of the storage basket.
  • the concentric cylindrical structures 1 and 2 are open to their upper face 1a, 1b to allow the introduction of the pipes to store and are closed at their underside by a bottom plate 3 which is common, in the example shown, to said structures 1 and 2.
  • the device is mobile in rotation about the axis A and it is driven by means a hydraulic or electric motor 4. Wheels 5 allow the device for turning on rails 6 fixed to the ground 7 which is, in this case, by a deck of a ship or laying barge.
  • the internal structure 1 is intended for receive a main flexible pipe 8, as described for example in API 17B or in FR 2056428, the main pipe 8 being wound from the hub 9 to the periphery then in successive layers 10 to the top of cylindrical structure 1, as shown schematically in Figure 1.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical structure 1 is about 16 m, which allows to store a great length of flexible pipe 8.
  • the second so-called external cylindrical structure 2 is located, in the embodiment shown, outside the structure cylindrical 1 called interior, although they can be reversed if necessary.
  • the external cylindrical structure 2 comprises at least three housings 11, 12, 13, concentric with each other and with a vertical axis of symmetry parallel to the axis of rotation A.
  • the extreme housings 11 and 13 are intended for receive the secondary pipe 14 which is wound and stored according to stacked and successive layers 15 as shown in the Figure 1.
  • the housing 12 is intended to allow the passage of the pipe secondary 14 from the top of the outer extreme housing 11 at the bottom of the internal extreme housing 13.
  • the central housing 12 is provided with a ramp 16 which extends on a half-circumference, in the case shown in FIGS.
  • the objective being to bring the secondary pipe 14 to the bottom of the housing internal end 13 so as to allow its winding in layers successive to the top of said internal extreme housing 13.
  • the passage of the secondary pipe 14 of the middle housing 12 in the housing internal end 13 is formed through an orifice, not shown, formed in the bottom plate 3.
  • the winding mode of the secondary pipe 14 in the external 11 and internal 13 extreme housings is shown schematically in Figures 3a to 3f.
  • the device After fixing by means one end of the secondary line on the device, the device is rotated, so as to wind the pipe secondary from the bottom to the top of the outer extreme housing 11 ( Figures 3a and 3b).
  • the secondary pipe 14 When the secondary pipe 14 is at the top of the housing 11, it is then introduced into the middle housing 12 (FIG. 3c) over substantially a half-turn or circumference and it is supported and guided on ramp 16 until it reaches an area of transfer 17 (figure 3d) then it is introduced at the bottom of the housing 13 in which it is wound up to the top of said housing 13 (FIG.
  • each housing 11 to 13, in section transverse is slightly greater than the diameter of the pipe secondary 14 which must be stored in the device.
  • the secondary pipe for all possible applications for depths concerned has an internal diameter of approximately 130 mm and an external diameter of about 240 mm, which allows to take a weight of the main pipe of about 550 tonnes.
  • the width of the housing for the secondary pipe is between 300 and 400 mm.
  • the height of the device from the bottom plate 3 to the open face of the structures 1 and 2 is 7.5 m.
  • the second cylindrical structure 2 can receive other types of secondary lines such as umbilicals.
  • the two cylindrical structures 1 and 2 can be dissociated while being concentric and each have own means of rotation drive. In this case, the speeds of rotation of said structures would be different which could allow to wind up or unwind for example the secondary pipe at a speed higher or lower than the speed of the main flexible pipe.
