Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of assembling and installing a floating barge of very large dimensions for example for the treatment of gas or oil at sea.
  • floating storage units In the case of offshore extraction of oil or gas, these equipment and installations are placed on floating storage units (in English FPSO - Floating Production Storage and Offloading).
  • This term refers to a vessel or floating unit such as a barge used for offshore production.
  • This type of floating unit receives oil or gas extracted from the production site and stores and processes this production pending a ship, such as a tanker, can load it through a buoy separated by a few hundred meters from the floating unit and bring this production to a port.
  • the floating unit also has many systems for treating and separating different types of oil or gas and living quarters, as well as a dynamic positioning system when the weather conditions are unfavorable.
  • the largest floating units produced are approximately 310 meters long, 60 meters wide and 30 meters high. Their production capacity can exceed 200,000 barrels per day for a storage capacity of 2 million barrels.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method of assembling and installing a floating barge of very large dimensions which makes it possible to solve these problems of limiting the manufacturing capacities of the sites.
  • a floating barge of very large size generally designated by the reference 1.
  • barge 1 will be described for a barge for the treatment of gas or oil at sea. This floating barge can obviously be used in other areas.
  • the barge 1 having the general shape of a quadrilateral comprises two lateral sections 10 and opposed in one piece.
  • the inner wall 10a of each Lateral section 10 comprises a succession of projecting portions 11 separated by recessed portions 12.
  • the barge 1 also comprises connecting sections 15 extending transversely with respect to the lateral sections 10 and fixed between two projecting portions 11 of the two opposite lateral sections 10.
  • the connecting sections 15 are connected to the lateral sections 10 for example by welding or by any other suitable means of known type.
  • the length L of the barge 1 is greater than 300 meters and preferably of the order of 310 meters and the width 11 of each lateral section 10 is about 50 meters.
  • the width 12 of each connecting section 15 is at least 50 meters, which gives a total width of the barge 1 of at least 150 meters.
  • the lateral sections 10 are manufactured independently, for example in a dry dock 20 of an assembly pier 21 and the connecting sections 15 are also manufactured independently of each other.
  • the two lateral sections 10 are put into the water as shown in FIG. Fig. 4 and they are floated in relation to each other by appropriate means, not shown.
  • the connecting sections 15 are placed on at least one transport barge 25 and, preferably, two connecting sections 15 are placed on two transport barges 25, as shown in FIG. Fig. 5 .
  • all the connecting sections 15 can be transported by a single transport barge 25.
  • connecting sections 15 are brought in pairs between the lateral sections 10 and they are fixed, for example by welding or by any other appropriate means of known type between the two lateral sections 10.
  • each of the sections 15 is brought to the level of the upper face of the lateral sections 11 by vertical displacement of these connecting sections 15 by appropriate means, such as for example by ballasting or deballasting of the transport barges 25.
  • appropriate means such as for example by ballasting or deballasting of the transport barges 25.
  • a floor is installed on the connecting sections 15 in order to fill the voids between these sections and, thus, constitute a continuous and flat surface.
  • the units or modules and the living quarters are transferred from the dock to the barge 1 by means of lifting members, such as for example cranes.
  • the upper surface of the barge 1 is brought to the level of the wharf and the treatment units or modules and the accommodation spaces are transferred to the barge 1 by sliding them from the wharf 21 on said barge 1 .
  • the barge 1 thus equipped is flown to the operating site.
  • the lateral and lateral sections 5 and 5 respectively form storage tanks for the gas and / or treated oil.
  • the treated gas or oil is then transferred to a transport vessel, for example an oil tanker via a buoy a few kilometers away from the barge 1.
