Abstract

En fremgangsmåte for oljeproduksjon fra et undervanns brønnhode (9) på sjøbunnen via et fleksibelt stigerør (4) til et dynamisk posisjonert fartøy (5). uten brtik av en svlvelkopling som forbinder stigerøret (4) med fartøyet (5) eller en kopling som krever at rør blir viklet ut og viklet opp. Innbefatter bruken av et fleksibelt stigerør. Lengden til det fleksible stigerør og posisjonen til fartøyet (6)1 forhold til brønnhodet (3) er slik at stigerøret (4) har et parti (A-B) inntil brønnhodet som bøyer under sin egen vekt. et parti (B- C) som forløi>er mer eller mindre horisontalt og er 1 stand til sideveis bevegelse, og et parti (C-D) inntil fartøyet (5). Istand til vertikal og sideveis beveg- else. Stlgererslengden er betydelig større enn vann- dybden 1 hvilke brønnen er plassert, for å skape rom for det horisontale parti av stigerøret og stlgerørs- konstruksjonen er slik at den har betydelig større tosjonsstlvhet enn bøyestlvhet. Fartøyet holdes på plass i>å en slik måte at det Ikke er stasjonert direkte over brønnen og slik at det geometriske sted til det nominelle senter for det dynamisk posisjonerte fartøysavtrykk kan beskrive en kurveiinjet bane som også er til siden for brønnens posisjon.A method of oil production from a subsea wellhead (9) on the seabed via a flexible riser (4) to a dynamically positioned vessel (5). without the need for a swivel connection connecting the riser (4) to the vessel (5) or a connection requiring the pipes to be unwound and wound up. Includes the use of a flexible riser. The length of the flexible riser and the position of the vessel (6) 1 relative to the wellhead (3) is such that the riser (4) has a portion (A-B) adjacent the wellhead which bends under its own weight. a portion (B-C) extending> is more or less horizontal and is capable of lateral movement, and a portion (C-D) adjacent the vessel (5). Able for vertical and lateral movement. The rod length is considerably greater than the water depth 1 in which the well is positioned, to create space for the horizontal portion of the riser and the riser structure is such that it has considerably greater tensile stiffness than bending stiffness. The vessel is held in position> in such a way that it is not stationed directly above the well and so that the geometric location of the nominal center of the dynamically positioned vessel imprint can describe a curve-oriented trajectory which is also adjacent to the well's position.
