Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for transferring a fluid between a first surface installation and a second floating surface installation on a body of water, such as a sea or an ocean, for example.
  • This transfer system comprises in particular a tubular pipe whose one end is connected to the piping of the first surface installation and the other end is intended to be connected to the manifold ("manifold" in English) of a second surface installation.
  • the tubular pipe is supported by a support structure deployable between a storage position on the first surface installation and an extended position for connecting the end of the tubular pipe to the collector of the second surface installation.
  • the first surface installation is for example a production, liquefaction, storage and discharge of liquefied hydrocarbons ("floating production storage and offloading ship" or "FPSO" in English).
  • the second surface installation is for example a vessel for storing and transporting liquefied hydrocarbons, in particular liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for transporting it from the floating treatment plant to a land-based site.
  • LPG liquefied petroleum gas
  • the fluid transfer system must be adapted to withstand high dynamic stresses without risk of damage. of the fluid transfer system.
  • This device comprises a cryogenic hose which deploys catenary between the two surface installations.
  • One end of the cryogenic hose is connected to the piping of a first installation while the second free end is intended to be connected to a manifold of a second surface installation.
  • the free end of the cryogenic pipe is connected to the first end of an articulated arm which guides the free end of the cryogenic flexible pipe and connect it to the collector of the second surface installation.
  • This arm is suspended under the fixed support structure by its ends by means of cables.
  • the first end of the arm on which the cryogenic flexible pipe is connected is connected to the support structure by an unwinding cable from a winch located on the fixed support structure while the second end of the arm is connected to the fixed support structure by a cable. It also includes a counterweight.
  • the end of the cryogenic pipe is thus guided to be connected to the collector of the second surface installation by an articulated arm suspended at its ends to a fixed structure.
  • the suspension of the arm by a cable and a counterweight at the end of the arm ensures a steady state of equilibrium and also allows a reduction of the maneuvering forces when connecting to the collector of the surface installation and efforts on these, including during the transfer.
  • a disadvantage of this system is that it is not suitable when the transfer takes place between two ships moored to one another and that the heights of the free edges of the two ships are very different, as it is the case for example between an FPSO and a LPG storage vessel during the transfer of LPG.
  • the support structure and in particular the articulated guide arm is bulky and does not easily adapt to the configuration mentioned above.
  • Another disadvantage of this system is that it does not effectively compensate for the main movements of the boats mainly heave. Indeed, the articulated arm has a high inertia of movement which generates significant efforts at the collector requiring reinforcement thereof.
  • FR 1 415 279 describes a transfer system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the fluid transfer system according to the invention is an improvement of the devices of the prior art and aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the fluid transfer system according to the invention between a first surface installation and a second surface installation comprises a deployable tubular transfer line between the two surface installations whose first end is connected to a pipe of the first surface installation. while the second end is intended to be connected to a collector of the second surface installation, the tubular transfer line being suspended under a support and guide structure by a link, for example a cable.
  • the fluid transfer system according to the present invention is according to claim 1.
  • the fluid transfer system has one or more of the features of the dependent claims, in any technically feasible combination.
  • the figure 4 shows the fluid transfer system (10) deployed between a first surface installation (11) and a second surface installation (12).
  • the first surface installation (11) is for example an "FPSO” vessel and the second surface installation (12) is, for example, a liquefied petroleum gas storage vessel LPG ("LPG" or "liquefied petroleum gas” in the language English).
  • LPG liquefied petroleum gas storage vessel
  • the fluid transfer system (10) also makes it possible to transfer LPG from the production and processing vessel to a storage vessel in order to convey it to a land use site for example.
  • the two vessels are moored side by side and berths (16) are interposed between the hulls of the ships to protect them. A distance of approximately 4 to 5 meters separates the hulls of the two surface installations.
  • the size of the LPG storage vessel is significantly smaller than that of the FPSO vessel so that a difference in height of several meters, for example 10 meters exists between the freeboard heights of the two facilities.
  • the FPSO has piping (not shown) while the LPG storage vessel has a manifold (20) near the edge of the vessel.
  • the fluid transfer device stored on the FPSO is deployed to connect the two fluid connection members separated by several tens of meters in height, and ensure the loading of LPG storage tank vessels.
  • the fluid transfer system (10) comprises a support and guide structure (40), a link (52), a winch (51) on which the link (52) is wound and a tubular transfer line (25). having a first end (28) connected to the piping of the first surface installation (11) and a second end (29) which is to be connected to the manifold (20) of the second surface installation (12).
  • the tubular transfer line (25) is suspended by the link (52) to the support and guide structure (40).
  • the support and guide structure (40) is mounted on the deck of the first surface installation (11) in a space.
  • the support and guide structure (40) is mounted on a base (46) on the deck of the first surface installation (11). It is rotatable about a horizontal axis of rotation and a vertical axis.
  • This support structure is constituted by an articulated arm (41) comprising a first arm (42) and a second arm swing (43) as will be explained later.
  • the two arms (42, 43) are interconnected by a horizontal axis joint.
  • the first arm (42) is inclined at approximately 60 ° to a horizontal axis while the second arm (43) forms an open angle with the first arm segment (42).
  • the second arm (43) carries and a counterweight (50) and a winch (51) on which is wound the link (52).
  • This link is deployed so that a portion of the link (52) extends vertically downwardly from the end of the second articulated arm (43) opposite to that carrying the counterweight. It is connected to the tubular transfer line (25).
  • the link (52) is for example a metal cable, a synthetic cable or a chain.
  • the link (52) is a metal cable.
  • the tubular transfer line (25) is suspended under the support and guide structure (40) by the link (52) at a point of the tubular transfer line (25) spaced from its ends.
  • the tubular transfer line (25) includes a first flexible section (30), a second flexible section (32) and an elbow (31) disposed between the first and second flexible sections (32).
  • the first flexible section (30) extends catenary from its end connected to the piping of the first surface installation (11).
  • the second flexible section (32) extends substantially vertically. Its free end (29) is provided with a connecting device (27) to be connected to the collector (20) of the second surface installation (12).
  • the connection device includes an emergency release connector ("Emergency release connector” or “ERC” in English) and a connector known as “quick connect and disconnect connector” or "QCDC".
  • connection device is disposed on a bent connection to make the connection to the collector (20) of the second surface installation (12) in a substantially horizontal axis.
  • the second flexible section (32) is of great length, for example greater than 10 meters. Indeed, since there is a difference of several meters between the freeboard heights of the two vessels, the collector (20) of the storage vessel of the second surface installation (12) is very low compared to the piping of the first surface installation (11). The accessibility of the collector (20) of the second surface installation (12) is therefore limited from the first surface installation (11). The connection is thus facilitated by the long length of the second flexible section (32) extending vertically from the supporting and guiding structure (40). In addition the end (29) is free in the six degrees of freedom which provides additional flexibility to the fluid transfer device and thus limits the forces on the manifold (20). Flexible pipes are cryogenic pipes for the transport of LPG.
  • An elbow (31) is interposed between the first and second flexible sections (32). It is a small section forming an inverted U, whose ends are oriented downwards.
  • the link (52) of the fluid transfer system (10) is connected at a point on this elbow (31).
  • the transfer line is then suspended under the support structure and guide (40) by the link (52) connected to the elbow (31).
  • the elbow (31) is rigid and has flexible / rigid connections (36) at its opposite ends to connect the first and second flexible sections.
  • the radius of curvature of this elbow fitting (31) is very small, advantageously less than the minimum radius of curvature of a flexible pipe, which makes it possible to have a very compact fluid transfer device.
  • the link length (52) which extends vertically is adjustable by unwinding or winding the link (52) of the winch (51) in order to properly position the second end (29) of the tubular pipe for connection to the collector (20) of the second surface installation (12).
  • the fluid transfer system (10) previously described and illustrated by the figure 4 further comprises a fluidic rotary joint disposed on the tubular transfer line (25).
  • a fluidic rotary joint disposed on the tubular transfer line (25).
  • the elbow comprises a fluid swivel that allows the second flexible section to rotate 360 ° around a substantially horizontal axis.
  • This additional flexibility provided to the second flexible pipe section (32) further expands the working window to effect fluid transfer without imposing unacceptable safety constraints on the fluid transfer device.
  • This rotary joint disposed judiciously on the elbow of the transfer line (25) reduces the probabilities of emergency disconnection compared to the first embodiment and the disconnection system of the prior art.
  • FIG. 1 shows the fluid transfer system (10) in its storage position on the first surface installation (11), for example an FPSO. It comprises the tubular transfer line (25) suspended under the support and guide structure (40). The fluid transfer system (10) is stored in a space provided for this purpose on the first surface installation (11).
  • the articulated arm (41) is folded inside.
  • the first arm (42) extends substantially vertically and the second arm (43) extends in the extension of the first arm (42) forming a maximum opening angle with the first arm (42).
  • the second tubular transfer line end (29) is attached to a connector (60) for securing the second flexible pipe end (29) and draining the tubular conduit (25). Indeed, the connector (60) is in fluid communication with the storage tanks of the first surface installation (11).
  • the first section of catenary flexible pipe is not shown for the sake of clarity of the figures.
  • the second end (29) of the tubular transfer line (25) is disconnected from the connector (60) of the first surface unit (11).
  • the link (52) is wound on the winch (51) so as to disengage the second free end (29) of the tubular transfer pipe (25).
  • the structure of support and guide (40) is then oriented by rotation of the first arm (42) about its vertical axis to get in the axis of the loading plane.
  • the support and guide structure (40) is deployed by pivoting the articulated arm (41).
  • the first arm (42) is inclined by rotating it about its horizontal axis of rotation, for example by a 60 ° angle to bring the second arm (43) beyond the shell.
  • the second flexible section (32) is then suspended above the surface of the water and the docking defenses (16).
  • a link length (52) adequate to lower the second end (29) of the tubular transfer pipe (25) and thereby bring it closer to the collector (20) of the second surface installation (12).
  • the first arm (42) is further inclined to form an angle of 45 ° to the horizontal thereby causing the connector device of the second tubular transfer line end (29) facing the device collector connector (20) of the second surface installation (12).
  • the tubular pipe is connected to the manifold (20).
  • the second arm (43) forming a swing is brought into a substantially horizontal position.
  • the link (52) is wound so that the second arm (43) is substantially horizontal.
  • the winch is then blocked.
  • the rotation of the second arm (43) makes it possible to follow the differential movement between the boats.
  • the second arm (43) can rotate about a horizontal axis at its point of attachment (44).
  • the counterweight (50) stabilizes a state of equilibrium when connecting the end of the second flexible pipe (32) to the manifold (20) and the fluid transfer to follow the movements while limiting the risks of overloads on the collector (20).
  • LPG transfer system Although the invention has been described for a LPG transfer system, it can be applied to transfer systems for other fluids such as for example LNG or petroleum. Thus, modifications could be made to the invention.
  • surface facilities could be barges, platforms, various fluid storage vessels.
  • the system of Fluid transfer is not limited to the transfer of LPG between an FPSO and a LPG storage vessel.
  • the tubular conduit may be a flexible pipe in one piece and the elbow is then a gutter in which rests the flexible pipe. The link is then connected to the gutter.
  • This solution is however not preferred because the radius of curvature of the channel can not be less than the minimum radius of curvature of the flexible pipe. The system is then less compact.
  • the invention is also not limited to flexible cryogenic pipes but includes flexible pipes and unbonded flexible as defined in the standard documents of the "American Petroleum Institute AP117J and API RP17B.
