Definitions
- This invention relates to a device related to risers, especially for transferring fluids between a first construction by the sea bottom and second construction by the sea surface, comprising: an upper, essentially vertically extending part connected in its upper end to the construction by the surface, an intermediate part of the riser coupled to one or more buoyancy elements along at least a part of its length, and a lower part the lower end of which being connected to the construction by the sea bottom.
- risers for transferring fluids from the sea bottom to the surface.
- Usual configurations are for example “Lazy S” and “Steep S” , where the riser extends toward the sea bottom via an intermediate area.
- the riser In the intermediate part the riser is connected to one or more buoyancy elements lifting the corresponding part of the riser and making a curve with its concavity directed downward.
- From the intermediate area the riser in a "Lazy S” configuration stretches in a gentle curve toward the sea bottom, while a riser in a “Steep S” configuration stretches in a straighter line toward an anchoring on the sea bottom, which also comprises a coupling for a pipe stretching between the anchoring and the construction on the sea floor.
- a disadvantage related to the "Lazy S" configuration is that it requires relatively much space, so that there is a danger for the risers to come close to each others and be damaged. This makes it difficult to use in larger installations comprising a plurality of risers, and at large depths .
- Step S The anchored “Steep S” solution provides better control over the riser, both regarding vertical and horizontal movements, but the coupling in the anchoring against the sea floor is relatively complex and it demands specialized equipment for performing the coupling. Also, it is basically unstable as the riser will float up to the surface if the anchoring breaks .
- the present invention thus relates to a simple solution for obtaining an approximate "Steep S" configuration of a riser without requiring complicated operations for connecting of risers to the sea bottom, as the weight elements being fastened to the riser may be mounted over the sea surface in an installation vessel during the installation of the riser. Connecting the weight elements to a possibly preinstalled anchoring will also be easier than in the known art as represented by the abovementioned US patent, as the anhoring line may be mounted in a loose condition, which is simplifies the connecting operation. This is obtained using a device related to a riser as described above, and being characterized as given in claim 1.
- Figure la shows the complete riser configuration .
- Figure lb shows another configuration according to the invention.
- Figures 2a and 2b show a detail of figure lb as seen from above .
- Figure 3 show a detail of the lower part of the riser with weight elements.
- Figure 4 show a cross section of two weight elements mounted on the riser.
- a floating platform 1 is shown.
- a riser 2 is connected being connected to a coupling on the installation deck.
- the platform per se is not important for the invention, and the upper part of the riser may of course be coupled to other constructions, e.g. ships, especially a submerged turret loading or production vessel.
- the upper part 2a of the riser hangs essentially vertically.
- An intermediate part 2b comprises in a known way a number of buoyancy elements 8 providing the riser with a curved progress over the part on which the buoyancy elements are positioned.
- the riser also comprises a lower part 2c below the buoyancy elements.
- the lower part 2c extends at least down to the sea floor and preferably a distance along the sea floor.
- a number of weight elements 3 are placed on the lower part so as to balance the buoyancy of the buoyancy elements, and at the same time contribute in limiting the movements of the riser in the vertical direction.
- Preferably at least one of the weight elements lie on the sea floor and thus contributes in limiting horizontal movements perpendicular to the riser, so that the danger of collisions between risers is reduced. This also contributes in stabilizing the vertical position of the riser in the water as a lifting of the riser will lift the weight element from the sea floor and thus raise the weight of the part of the riser floating in the water, thus pulling the riser down again.
- one or more of the weight elements 3b being lifted from the sea floor, are connected through a first chain or similar to a buoyant body 12 being in its turn anchored at the sea floor through a second chain or similar 13 to an anchor 14.
- the radius of curvature usually is reduced.
- This anchoring will usually dampen this reduction in the radius of curvature as the chain lying on the sea floor is pulled up from the bottom, and the chain being fastened to the weight element thus contributes with a gradually increasing horizontal force against the movements of the riser. This will contribute together with the rigitity of the weight elements in avoiding a decrease in the radius of curvature of the lower part of the riser under the critical limit.
- the extra anchoring 11,12,13,14 is specially advantageous when the construction at the surface is positioned directly above the bottom construction, as shown in figure lb, in which e.g. a drill pipe 15 extends from the platform 1 to a well head 7.
- a current from the in or out of the paper plane in the drawing will, without the extra anchoring, bend the riser in a direction into or out of the paper plane. This bending may damage the riser, both by being bent beyond the critical limit of the riser and by resulting in collisions with other risers being located in the area.
- the abovementioned anchoring system 11,12,13,14 positioned on the convex side of the lower part of the riser 2c may reduce this bending to an acceptable level.
- the buoyancy of the buoyant body 12 is adapted so that the first chain 11 only contributes with a horizontal force to the weight elements 3.
- the buoyancy element 12 with corresponding chains etc. 11,13,14 may be positioned on the sea floor independently and be connected to this without affecting the equilibrium situation, while at the same time improving the properties outside the equilibrium situation, such as in movement of the surface construction.
- the buoyant body may be anchored in a chosen position and the first chain may thereafter simply be connected to one of the weight elements using a ROV (Remote operated vehicle) .
- ROV Remote operated vehicle
- the riser will keep essentially the same vertical position if the anchoring fails.
- the buoyant body provides, in the same way as corresponding, well known anchoring systems for surface vessels, a softer anchoring than a direct anchoring to the sea floor, thus allowing more drift in the surface installations before the riser is damaged and at the same time limitting the weight being lifted by the ROV when the first chain 11 is coupled to the weight elements 3.
- FIGs 2a and 2b show the anchoring part of figure lb as seen from above, where figure 2a shows the use of one buoyant body 12 connected to the riser 2, while figure 2b shows correspondingly the use of two buoyant bodies with attached chains 11,13 connected to the riser 2.
- the solution in figure 2 provides an improved stability for movements in horisontal directions.
- the drawing shows a gradually decreasing size of the weight elements 3a providing a gradual transition between the riser and the weight elements.
- the weight elements may be positioned similarly on the lowest weight elements lying on the sea floor.
- Figure 3 shows how the weights are placed on the riser so as to maintain the flexibility, as they are positioned along the riser at a certain distance between them, with spacer parts 10 between the weight elements 3.
- the riser is fastened to the riser, while the others only are fastened to each other, so as to allow for a relatively free movement in the longitudinal direction inside the weight elements.
- the riser is not subject to any extra tension when the curvature changes.
- the weight elements, and the intermediate spacer parts are provided with a smooth stiffness.
- the stiffness decreases toward the ends to provide a gradual transition to the stiffness of the riser.
- the weight elements 3 may be formed with a radial extension larger than the distance between the weights 3.
- the relationship between the radius of the weight elements and the distance between them is chosen to make the weight elements touch each other at a certain curvature, and thus hinder further bending of the riser 2.
- spacer parts 10 may be provided between the weight elements which may adjust the bending stiffness so that the operational stiffness does not come below the critical bending radius of the riser 2. If the riser with the weight elements is bent sufficiently to make the weight elements touch each other the spacer parts may take up the resulting tension on the outside of the curve.
- FIG 4 show a cross section of an example of how the weight elements 3 may be made.
- the weight elements 3 may be shaped as rings, e.g. of lead, being fastened to the riser 2 at certain distances from each other. Thus the flexibility of the riser is maintained.
- the weight element may be a liquid with a high specific weight, e.g. the drilling fluid. If the weight elements are filled with liquid they may also be made relatively flexible, and thus provide a dampened increase in the bending stiffness when bending the riser, as the weight elements are gradually pressed toward each other. The liquid may be filled in after the weight elements have been mounted, thus simplifying the handling of them.
- the weight elements 3 are half circle shaped parts being screwed together outside the riser.
- the rings 3 shown in figure 4 are assembled by an inner ring 4 which may be of a flexible polymer of rubber-like material.
- the inner ring 4 is glued or vulcanized to an outer ring 5 made from a heavy weight material, preferably lead or comprising a heavy liquid.
- On the outside a collar shaped ring 6 may be provided giving outward protection.
- the stiffness in the weight elements and in the coupling between them may be provided in different ways, e.g. by using different rubber mixtures in the production of the weight elements and possible spacer parts, possibly in combination with the use of heavy liquids in the weight elements giving them a certain resilience.
