Abstract

1436739 Liquid transfer apparatus COFLEXIP 11 Sept 1973 [13 Sept 1972] 42572/73 Heading B8E [Also in Division F2] Apparatus for transferring liquid from a well in deep water to a ship or other surface point comprises a lower bundle of flexible tubes 7-12 connected to a base 2 of the well and maintained in tension by floats 4-6 and independent upper flexible tubes 7a-12a connected between the tubes of the bundle and the delivery points. The upper end of the bundle is maintained below the zone of surface swell. To set up the apparatus a barge 18 is used having a cut-out part 19 and reels 20-24 on which the tubes are wound and from which they pass through drive devices 25 having caterpillar tracks to maintain a controlled feed. After securing the tubes 7-12 to a counter-base connection 3 it is lowered until the joint for attachment of the float 6 is reached to which while it is supported by a crane 27 the tubes are secured in recesses in spaced relation by collars 16. Lowering is continued until it is necessary to attach subsequent floats 5, 4 according to the water depth. The connection 3 is then secured to the base 2 in known manner and the buoyancy of the floats is adjusted to maintain the bundle of tubes in tension. The independent tubes 7a-12a are now connected between the top of the tubes 7-12 and the delivery points. The bundle may include flexible means for carrying electricity or compressed fluid. (For Figure 4 see next page.)
