Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for installing a buoyant offshore arrangement according to claim 1 and to an offshore arrangement according to claim 2.
  • Such offshore arrangements serve, for example, to open up oil or gas deposits under the seabed. Further, they serve to bring down a pipe for conveying oil or gas from the Seabed.
  • ie drill pipe and drill pipes and the like guide tubes are provided, which are built from above the sea level to the seabed. In order to guide and also to hold such guide and protective tubes in a suitable manner, it is known to attach laterally corresponding guide means to the offshore arrangement.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an offshore arrangement and a method for installing a buoyant offshore arrangement, wherein the guide means during installation can be brought into position in a simple manner.
  • the support of lower and upper guide means for the guide and protective tubes or riser pipes is made by the supporting structure.
  • the support structure is usually a latticework on which the vertical supports are mounted.
  • the support of the upper guide means which are carried out separately from the lower guide means, taken from the platform.
  • the upper guide means are held by the platform as soon as they reach the area of the platform.
  • the upper guide means remain supported on the platform when they are is raised above the sea level.
  • the foundation of the support structure on the seabed can be done in a known manner, for. B. by means of a concrete foundation or suction cups or the like.
  • the lower guide means are firmly connected to the support structure.
  • the upper guide means are separably supported on the support structure and may extend upwardly from the support structure as the support structure is lowered towards the platform towards the seabed.
  • the platform has holding means which support the upper guide means when the support structure has been lowered from the platform by a predetermined distance.
  • the guide and protective tubes and risers on the guide means are more or less obligatory to provide guiding means in the area of the platform.
  • these guide means must not be connected to the platform from the outset, but they are initially supported more or less loosely on the support structure before the final installation of the arrangement.
  • the upper guide means are limited to the side and can not swim away. However, they are able to be raised relative to the support structure without further notice.
  • the platform can laterally receiving slots or channels have, in which sliders of the upper guide means engage until they abut against a stop.
  • the guide means can be fixed by means of suitable fastening means on the platform.
  • suitable fastening means on the platform.
  • Other constructive means are also conceivable for "catching" the upper guide means from the platform during the lowering operation and fixing the upper guide means to the platform, eg by means of a hook and flange connection.
  • the upper guide means are preferably arranged in a frame.
  • the frame may in turn be a latticework in which the guide means are mounted as guide rings or the like.
  • the supports of the frame can invest according to a further embodiment of the invention laterally against the associated side surface of the platform in order to obtain a sufficient lateral stabilization on the platform.
  • At least one rail pair for a rail vehicle is mounted on the platform and the guide means comprise at least a pair of rail sections aligned with the rails on the platform when the upper guide means are connected to the platform.
  • the rail vehicle is used, for example, for the transport of pipes, which are aligned with the aid of the rail vehicle to the guide means before the tubes are lowered.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 an offshore arrangement 10 is shown, which is briefly described by Fig. 1 should be explained. It consists of a support structure 12, which represents a stable latticework. At the corners of the approximately rectangular support structure 12 four vertical supports 14 are mounted, which are connected at the lower end with suction cups 16. The suction cups 16 are used for anchoring the supports 14 in the seabed. They are more or less driven by vacuum into the seabed. Such suction cups are known per se.
  • a buoyant platform 18 is arranged between the vertical supports 14 . It can be fixed at any height on the supports, it can also slide for the purpose of height adjustment on the vertical supports 14. In the area of a corner of the platform 18, a column 20 for a crane 22 is arranged on this. In addition, on the top of rails 24, a vehicle 26 is arranged with a vertical frame 28a for a pipe string, which can be lowered from the platform 18 towards the seabed.
  • a frame consisting of a lattice between two adjacent columns 14 is supported on the corresponding edge of the support structure 12.
  • the frame 28 is arranged outside the outer contour of the platform 18.
  • the frame 28 has in three height-spaced planes 30, 32, 34 with guide openings for guide and protective tubes, not shown.
  • the guide openings are formed, for example, by bushings, which are arranged in the planes 30 to 34.
  • the sockets are not shown.
  • the support structure 12 holds further guide means with guide openings (not shown), wherein the guide openings are aligned with the guide openings of the frame 28.
  • Fig. 1 The offshore arrangement according to Fig. 1 is assembled in a suitable location and allowed to water. Of course, this can also be done with the help of floating docks or the like.
  • Fig. 2 shows the floating of the assembly 10, wherein the water level is indicated at 36. The buoyancy of the assembly 10 is produced by the platform 18. With the help of a suitable Glasschiffes the assembly 10 is pulled to a desired location.
  • Fig. 3 shows the beginning of the installation at the desired location. For this purpose, the support structure 12 is lowered relative to the platform 18, as indicated by arrow 38. The funds required for this purpose are not shown.
  • Fig. 4 It is shown how the support structure 12 is completely lowered on a seabed 40. It can be seen that during this lowering process the frame 28 remains hanging on the platform 18, thus lifting itself from the support structure 12, when the frame 28 in the lowering process according to Fig. 3 has a height in which holding means of the platform 18, not shown hold the frame 28 so that its upper surface is approximately aligned with the top of the platform 18.
  • Fig. 6 is shown as the suction cups 16 are driven in the seabed and fixed there. In addition, it is shown how the platform 18 is raised above the water level 36 and thereby took the frame 28.
  • Fig. 6 shows the final installation of the assembly 10, wherein the platform 18 is pushed to the upper end of the vertical supports 14 and fixed thereto. Again, the frame 28 is taken.
  • Fig. 7 On the platform 18 are rail pairs 42 on which the vehicle 26 can be moved. On top of the frame 28 are also, as shown at 44, rail portions 44, which are aligned with the rails 42.
  • the vehicle 26 can therefore, as in Fig. 7 is shown, at least partially driven on the frame 28.
  • guide tubes can now be brought down or riser pipes are installed, as at 46 in Fig. 7 shown.
  • the guide tubes 46 can be guided by the already mentioned guides in the levels 30 to 34 in the frame 28 and by lower guide means in the support structure 12.
  • the guide or protective tubes are used, for example to guide and protect drill pipes that are driven into the seabed during the drilling process.
  • FIG. 8 - 13 the interconnectable parts of platform 18 and upper guide means 28 are shown in more detail. However, only details which form a connecting structure between these parts will be described below. The remaining parts are not explained because they have nothing to do with the subject invention.
  • a hook portion 50 and on the side facing the platform 18 has a recess 52, in which the hook portion 40 can be hooked.
  • the recess 52 narrows down so that an easier insertion into the recess 52 is made possible.
  • Below and to the side of the recess guide plates 54 are provided with a conical insertion section. They serve to guide the hook portion 50 when inserted into the recess 52.
  • a projection 56 is provided with a vertical, planar counter surface 58, which cooperates with a contact surface 60 at the top of the platform 18, if, as in Fig. 9 is shown, the hook portion 50 is inserted into the recess 52.
