Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waved steel production riser.
  • the present invention relates to an offshore hydrocarbon production system provided with such a waved steel production riser.
  • the present invention relates to a method of producing a hydrocarbon stream.
  • a waved steel production riser is a steel riser, typically formed out of a string of pipes made out of steel, arranged to convey mineral hydrocarbon fluids produced from a subsea hydrocarbon reservoir to a floating structure such as a floating production platform, a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) structure, a semi-submersible.
  • a floating structure such as a floating production platform, a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) structure, a semi-submersible.
  • FPSO floating production storage and offloading
  • the steel production risers under consideration in the present disclosure are configured along a waved path.
  • a segment of the length along the riser is provided with a set of external buoyancy modules to create a primary buoyancy section wherein an upward buoyancy force on the riser in the body of water is greater than a downward gravity force.
  • an upwardly convex curved section (so-called hog bend or arch bend) is typically be formed in the primary buoyancy section.
  • the primary buoyancy section lifts up parts of the riser adjacent to the primary buoyancy section as well, whereby a downwardly convex section (so-called sag bend) can form hanging between the floating structure and the primary buoyancy section. This causes the waved configuration which characterizes the waved steel production risers.
  • the lazy wave riser and the steep wave riser are two distinct types of waved production riser. They have in common that they both comprise a primary buoyancy section. The characterizing difference between these types is that in the case of the lazy wave configuration the production riser touches down on the seabed in a downwardly convex curve whereby in the touchdown point the riser is in tangential alignment with the seabed, whereas the steep wave riser touches down at a pronounced non-tangent angle (typically vertical or near-vertical). It is noted that the presence of both a hog and a sag bend distinguish a waved production riser from, for instance, a so-called steel catenary riser or a shaped steel catenary riser.
  • the shaped steel catenary riser also has a buoyancy section, similar to the primary buoyancy section and which also changes the trajectory of the riser in the body of water, but the amount of buoyancy is not enough to raise the buoyancy section high enough to form actual hog and arch bends.
  • the hog and sag bends in waved steel production risers help to decouple the touchdown point from horizontal and vertical motion of the floating structure as a result of factors such as wind, currents, waves and tides.
  • the dynamic response of deepwater lazy wave catenary risers has been subject of a paper by Songcheng Li and Chau Nguyen, presented at Deep Offshore Technology (DOT) International conference (Amsterdam, 30 November to 2 December 2010).
  • the paper describes behavior of lazy wave risers with respect of a variety of input parameters, such as critical curvature radii, hang-off angle, top tension and buoyancy distribution. Some of these parameters are mutually coupled whereby a change in one of the parameters incurs a change in one or more of the other parameters.
  • the hang-off angle which is the inclination of the waved steel production riser in the hang-off point where the riser is suspended from the floating structure, is subject to a certain minimum. Attempts to lower the hang-off angle beyond the minimum may result in excessive curvature around the bends (e.g. the sag bend) causing bending stress beyond tolerance.
  • a waved steel production riser comprising a string of pipes made out of steel, which string of pipes is suspended from a floating structure into a body of water above a seabed, on which body of water the structure floats, wherein at a hang-off end of the production riser the string of pipes is connected to the floating structure in a hang-off point, and wherein, as described along the string of pipes starting from the hang-off point, the waved steel production riser comprises a hanging section, a primary buoyancy section wherein the waved steel production riser is provided with a first set of external buoyancy modules causing an upward buoyancy force on the primary buoyancy section in the body of water that is greater than a downward gravity force in the primary buoyancy section, and a landing section extending between the buoyancy section and a first point of contact with the seabed, wherein a vertical riser plane is defined, which contains both the hang-off point and the first point of contact and extends parallel to a vertical direction, wherein the
  • an offshore hydrocarbon production system comprising a floating structure floating on a body of water above a seabed, and a waved steel production riser according to any aspect of the present invention suspended from said floating structure into said body of water.
  • a method of producing a hydrocarbon stream comprising conveying mineral hydrocarbon fluids produced from a subsea hydrocarbon reservoir to a floating structure via a steel production riser in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, and processing the mineral hydrocarbon fluids on the floating structure whereby forming the hydrocarbon stream out of the mineral hydrocarbon fluids.
  • a waved steel production riser is presently proposed, which in addition to a primary buoyancy section wherein the waved steel production riser is provided with a first set of external buoyancy modules and an upward buoyancy force in the body of water is greater than a downward gravity force, further comprises an auxiliary buoyancy section in the hanging section in which the waved steel production riser is provided with a second set of external buoyancy modules and wherein the upward buoyancy force in the body of water is smaller than the downward gravity force, whereby the sag point is located within the auxiliary buoyancy section.
  • auxiliary buoyancy section may be advantageously applied on steel lazy wave risers as well as on steel steep wave risers.
  • the lazy wave riser may comprise a similar type of auxiliary buoyancy section extending at least to a point between the primary buoyancy section and the touchdown section, in which the lazy wave riser is provided with a third set of external buoyancy modules and wherein the upward buoyancy force in the body of water is smaller than the downward gravity force.
  • This may be instead of the auxiliary buoyancy section configured in the hanging section as described herein, or in addition to the auxiliary buoyancy section configured in the hanging section as described herein.
  • the (additional) buoyancy section between the primary buoyancy section and the touchdown section may be referred to as additional auxiliary buoyancy section, regardless of whether or not the lazy wave riser has the auxiliary buoyancy section configured in the hanging section.
  • auxiliary buoyancy section helps to reduce the curvature in the sag and hog bends for a given hang-off angle.
  • the curvature is a less constraining factor and the hang-off angle may be reduced to a point where the curvature is back to where it was before adding the auxiliary buoyancy section(s).
  • any additional auxiliary buoyancy section extending from the touchdown section into the landing section of a lazy wave riser helps to reduce curvature in the touchdown point and the hog bend.
  • the sets of external buoyancy modules each comprise a plurality of external buoyancy modules.
  • the external buoyancy modules in any of the first, second, and third set may be embodied in distributed buoyancy configuration, whereby distinct external buoyancy modules are attached to the riser with a selected spacing between successive adjacent external buoyancy modules. This includes a so-called full coverage configuration, whereby the spacing is zero or close to zero and the successive adjacent external buoyancy modules are configured in a physically abutting configuration.
  • hang-off angle refers to an angle of inclination of the lazy wave riser at the hang-off point. This corresponds to an angle of excursion from the vertical, of the tangential direction of the riser in the hang-off point.
  • buoyancy force in any named section of the waved steel production riser refers to the downward force exerted by gravity on the mass of the production riser in the section, normalized to a unit of length, including contents of the production riser and any external buoyancy modules.
  • Contents include the fluids that are being conveyed through the production riser, typically from the seabed to the floating structure.
  • these fluids comprise mineral hydrocarbon fluids produced from a subsea hydrocarbon reservoir.
  • upward buoyancy force in any named section of the waved steel production riser refers to the upward force imposed on the production riser within the section by the weight of water from the body of water that is displaced by that section of the production riser (including the riser pipes and the external buoyancy modules), normalized to the same unit of length.
  • the upward buoyancy force on the (additional) auxiliary buoyancy section is generally lower than the upward buoyancy force on the primary buoyancy section.
  • This can be achieved for instance by selecting external buoyancy modules in the second and third sets that per external buoyancy module have less buoyancy than the external buoyancy modules in the first set (per module). This may be achieved by selecting buoyancy modules with higher density and/or smaller volume for use in the second and/or third set than those for use in the first set.
  • the spacing between successive adjacent external buoyancy modules in the second set and/or in the third set may be selected larger than the spacing between successive adjacent external buoyancy modules in the primary buoyancy section. In this case, the external buoyancy modules in the second and/or third sets can be exact copies of those employed in the first set.
  • the waved steel production riser according to the present invention can be used on any type offshore hydrocarbon production system on any type of floating structure.
  • floating structure include a floating production platform, a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) structure, a semi-submersible structure, and a SPAR.
  • a tension leg platform (TLP) may also be considered a floating structure on which the steel production riser of the invention can be beneficial.
  • a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) barge is a special example of FPSO, and it contains process equipment and utilities by which natural gas can be produced from a subsea reservoir, treated, and finally cooled down to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) at a pressure of less than 2 bar absolute.

  • the totality of the external buoyancy modules 130 in the first set cause an upward buoyancy force on the primary buoyancy section 103 within the body of water 20, that is greater than a downward gravity force in the primary buoyancy section 103. Therefore, within the primary buoyancy section 103 the steel lazy wave riser 100 floats.
  • the primary buoyancy section 103 generally does not reach the surface 25 of the body of water as it is pulled down by the hanging section 102 and the landing section 104.
  • the hanging section 102 hangs between the floating structure 10 and the primary buoyancy section 103.
  • a downwardly convex curved section is formed in the hanging section 103.
  • a sag point 125 is defined in the lowest point on the downwardly convex curved section, there where the waved steel production riser has a tangent 127 in a horizontal direction and parallel to an imaginary vertical plane, which spans between the hang-off point 110 and the first point of contact 115.

  • Part of the auxiliary buoyancy section 106 is located between the hang-off point 110 and the sag point 125, and part is located between the sag point 125 and the buoyancy section 103.
  • the waved steel production riser 100 is provided with a second set of external buoyancy modules 120. Some of these external buoyancy modules 120 of the second set are located between the hang-off point 110 and the sag point 125, and some other of these external buoyancy modules 120 of the second set are located between sag point 125 and the primary buoyancy section 103.
  • the upward buoyancy force of the auxiliary buoyancy section 106 in the body of water 20 is larger than the upward buoyancy force of the production riser would have been if it were made out of the same steel but without any external buoyancy modules.
  • the upward buoyancy force of the auxiliary buoyancy section 106 in the body of water 20 is smaller than the downward gravity force.

More preferably the upward buoyancy force in the body of water within the auxiliary buoyancy section 106 of the production riser 100 is selected between 40% and 90% of the downward gravity force in the same section. The range of between 40% and 90% is preferred over the range between 90% and 99% in order to keep some strain on the hanging section of the production riser.
  • the upward buoyancy force in the body of water within the auxiliary buoyancy section 106 of the production riser 100 is selected between 50% and 90% of the downward gravity force in the same section, and most preferably between 60% and 90% of the downward gravity force in the same section.
  • This is generally achieved by purposely selecting the spacing between the external buoyancy modules in the first set and/or their sizes.
  • the spacing between the external buoyancy modules in the first set and/or their sizes are sized such that the pipe weight is reduced to between 10% and 40% of the bare pipe weight including its contents.
  • the amount of auxiliary buoyancy that is needed depends on various geometric factors and constrains.
  • auxiliary buoyancy section 106 helps to reduce the curvature in the sag and hog bends for a given hang-off angle ⁇ , or to reduce the hang-off angle ⁇ for a given curvature.
  • an upward buoyancy force in the body of water within the auxiliary buoyancy section 106 of the waved steel production riser 100 had to be about 80% of the downward gravity force in the same section, to achieve a hang-off angle ⁇ of just below 5°.
  • a hang-off angle of less than 5° is preferred, as this would facilitate a standardized hang-off design at the floating structure 10, for instance using the vertical pull-in tubes for all of the waved steel production risers regardless of their azimuthal orientation relative to the floating structure 10 or their radial reach away from the floating structure 10.
  • Such pull-in tubes may be installed on a turret or directly on the floating structure 10.
  • the turret may form a non-weathervaning part of the floating structure 10, to which a weathervaning part of the floating structure 10 can be moored with freedom to rotate about the turret in accordance with a vertical axis of rotation.
  • a turret design may need slanted I-tubes that are inclined at the riser hang-off angle, or J-tubes having a slanted lower part, which therefore cannot be standardized.
  • a pull-in tube generally comprises a rigidly mounted receptacle tube 113, into which a male tool part 114 at the top of the production riser at the hang-off end 101 can slidingly engage.

  • buoyancy modules may be applied pendant to the riser pipes whereby the external buoyancy modules are anchored to the riser pipes by anchor lines. These external buoyancy modules would still be configured fully submerged to benefit from maximal buoyancy force.
  • the invention is applicable on waved steel production risers having pipes of any outer diameter.
  • low diameter pipes of pipes not exceeding 199 mm generally are still relatively flexible such that the maximum curvature is in most cases not a constraint for reducing the hang-off angle to below 5°. Therefore, the invention has most benefits for larger diameter pipes, starting at pipes of which the outer diameter exceeds 199 mm, which includes 8-inch pipes.
  • the invention For most deployments of waved steel production risers of which the outer diameter exceeds 249 mm (which includes 10-inch pipes) the invention would be needed to meet the low hang-off angles, and it is envisaged that for almost all deployments of waved steel production risers of which the outer diameter exceeds 299 mm (which includes 12-inch pipes, and up) the invention would be needed in order to keep the hang-off angle to less than 5°.
  • the invention is applicable for deployments of waved steel production risers in any water depth.
  • deep waters offer more clearance to accommodate a waved shape including sag and hog bends than shallower waters. Therefore, for the deepest waters, such as waters deeper than about 1800 m, the maximum curvature that can be applied on the production riser might not form a constraint for reducing the hang-off angle to below 5°. It is contemplated that the invention has most benefits if the vertical distance from the hang-off point to the seabed (or the water depth of the body of water 20) is smaller than 1800 m.
  • the invention For most deployments of waved steel production risers in bodies of water 1400 m depth or less (whereby the vertical distance from the hang-off point to the seabed is smaller than 1400 m) the invention would be needed in order to keep the hang-off angle below 5° while observing a maximum allowable curvature. Furthermore, it is envisaged that for almost all deployments of waved steel production risers in bodies of water of 900 m deep or less (whereby the vertical distance from the hang-off point to the seabed is smaller than 900 m) the invention would be needed to achieve the preferred low hang-off angle.

It is envisaged that deployments of waved steel production risers of which the outer diameter exceeds 249 mm in a body of water of 1400 depth or less would be in particular need for this invention.
  • the steel lazy wave riser is generally preferred over the steep wave riser because less seabed infrastructure is needed compared to steep wave risers. But unlike the steep wave riser the first point of contact 115 is dynamic as motion of the floating structure 10 causes the riser to be lifted off from or laid down on the seabed 30.
