Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for positioning of vessels, such as ships, barge, semi-subs or the like, relative to the effecting of an activity from the vessel, such as drilling, production or geological investigations and the like, in connection with the recovery or transport of hydrocarbons at sea.
  • vessels such as ships, barge, semi-subs or the like
  • the invention has to do with all the operations which are carried out in connection with searching for, drilling, production and transport of hydrocarbons at sea, and especially where these operations are carried out with the point of origin in a vessel, that is to say a drilling vessel, a production vessel or a vessel which can combine these operations.
  • the invention is particularly intended for a production vessel which is based on a conventional ships' hull, but the invention is also very well-suited when the production vessel is designed as a barge, as a submersible rig or as another type of floating construction which can be used for the afore-mentioned operations.
  • the term production vessel which is used in this description covers therefore various designs of the production ship per se .
  • oil and gas can be produced by conveying it up to the production vessel from production wells via dedicated risers.
  • the risers will preferably be flexible, but can also if desired be prestressed over the whole or portions of the length.
  • the wells are controlled by means of wellhead trees which are located above or below water, dependent upon the solution chosen for the risers.
  • the vessel is anchored to the sea bottom with the necessary number of mooring lines.
  • the vessel can with advantage be designed so that it can resist the weather both forward and astern.
  • a foremost object of the invention is to provide a novel device in connection with such an installation comprising a production vessel and which makes possible the production of oil, gas plus the transport thereof, and if desired drilling, and where the production vessel can easily, rapidly and under complete control be coupled to or uncoupled from the production systems for oil and gas, if desired the drilling systems on the ocean bottom, at the same time as one maintains complete control over the temporarily disconnected pipes, cable control systems, etc. which constitute parts of the production systems.
  • Rapid and controllable uncoupling of the aforementioned equipment can be desirable, and in some instances imperative, in the waters where the weather conditions are often severe and rapidly changing.
  • the aim is to produce a system so that production vessels can be made substantially cheaper than if one had to design the vessel and mooring systems for the very brief periods having extreme weather conditions, in that the vessel is uncoupled from the production systems and if desired can be removed from the heavy weather region.
  • the vessel can return to the area and by means of the invention the production rapidly resumed after a short coupling-up time.
  • Floating production and drilling devices at sea are usually based on semi-subs (half submersible) or on conventional vessel hulls.
  • semi-subs half submersible
  • production installations placed on a semi-sub These have good sea characteristics, but often take little deck cargo.
  • examples are present of combining drilling and production from semi-subs.
  • Production ships are usual over the whole world, because of good space on board and the possibilities for storage of the oil. However no production ships have drilling installations on board because conventional production ships are dependent upon being able to rotate a lot in order to maintain the bow up towards the weather.
  • Norwegian Patent Specification NO 970448 describes a vessel with the possibility of two bows, so that the need for rotation is reduced and the drilling machinery can be installed on board at a distance from the region for production pipes. This makes possible being able to anchor the vessel without the use of the turret, at the same time as drawing in of the production risers can take place outside the drilling region.
  • a limitation with this solution emerges if the weather shifts outside the limitations which are produced in the angle of rotation. This applies particularly for regions where the direction of the weather in extreme conditions shifts rapidly and unforeseeably, such as for example in passing cyclones .
  • a series of solutions for production, loading and transport of hydrocarbons at sea, is based on mooring between ship and isolated positioned buoys.
  • Floating dry docks for the repair of ships are well known, and in use in many shipyards. Such dry docks must however have great ballast capacity in order to be able to lift a ship which is placed within the dock, upwards over the surface of the sea/water. These dock constructions will thus have a displacement which is often many times larger than the displacement of the vessel which is to be drained. Therefore such docks are suited for protected waters, that is to say in harbours or sheltered waters. If this type of dock should be employed at sea for oil production, the environmental forces on this dock (and thereby the stresses on the construction per se and its moorings) would become daunting, and much greater than if the vessel was anchored alone.
  • the device according to the invention is characterised in that the device comprises a floating float construction whose vertical position in the sea can be regulated, and is anchored to the sea bottom via a number of anchoring lines, and if necessary can be turned in a horizontal plane, that the vessel is adapted for positioning adjacent to the float construction, and that the float construction comprises means for detachably fixing the vessel to the float construction, so that the units move as one unit.
  • a device which gives the possibility for a rapid, safe and controllable disconnection and later a correspondingly rapid connection between vessel/ship and production systems so that there are possibilities of substantially reducing the effects and consequences of the worst, but brief, periods of heavy weather in the production of oil and gas at sea.
  • the device is used as a loading unit in coastal regions of the sea without quay installations, or for stationing of vessels comprising installations for the production of electric power.
  • a dock (an ocean dock, designed for operation on the open sea) is another term which is " synonymous with the expression float construction.
  • float construction is chosen to be used.
  • the project is thus made economically attractive in that the construction can be built at conventional workshops based on the use of known building techniques.
  • the float construction can be designed so that the bulk of the mooring forces are received by the dock and are not transferred to the vessel, something which will simplify the design of the vessel itself, which is advantageous as to cost, and improves the possibility for rebuilding used tankers for oil/gas production without extensive rebuilding costs.
  • the dock can be adapted to the vessel so that simple fastening arrangements can be employed between the float construction and the vessel, where these can be separately connected or disconnected.
  • the coupling up and connecting points between vessel and float are situated above water and are readily accessible to inspection, repairs etc..
  • the float construction floats alone the stresses it is exposed to from the environmental forces, are substantially less, compared with a permanently moored vessel.
  • this coupled together system behaves as to movement as one body in the sea.
  • the vessel can consequently be fastened in or coupled to a floating float construction, where the float construction is moored to the sea bottom with a number of mooring lines, and that the vessel during operation is coupled to production systems for oil and gas, herein for example supply pipes and if necessary export pipes for oil and gas.
  • the associated systems coupled together can be separated so that the vessel can be removed from the floating, anchored float construction. The float construction after the separation will normally remain anchored, while the vessel can be towed away or proceed on its own engine power.
  • Coupling occurs in an opposite sequence in that the vessel first enters the float construction and is fastened to this, for example mechanically or by means of mooring lines, and thereafter the necessary production systems having pipes and cables are coupled up to the production vessel, preferably above water.
  • the vessel and the float construction according to the invention are used for offshore production of oil and gas so that the established, strong requirements for safety on board are taken care of, and that the vessel/float construction is in operation the bulk of the year, but has the possibility of uncoupling during the rare, but totally extreme weather conditions which for example when the direction of a 100 year storm turns beyond the rotation capacity of the vessel/float construction or one chooses systematically to disconnect early, based on a warning about extreme weather conditions.
  • a production vessel adapted to the design of a floating, anchored float construction is fastened into the float construction, so that the vessel and the float construction behave as regards movement almost or completely as one body, and that a number of pipe lines import or export oil/gas to/from the vessel, either directly to the vessel or via the float construction.
  • Oil/gas are transported for example from underwater wells or from other installations. Due to the vessel being able to take the weather from both ends the need is reduced for rotation towards the weather to about +/- 90°, something which in turn opens to tremendously simple and cost- effective solutions for anchoring and pulling-in systems of production risers.
  • the use of the turret, swivels, cable drums or the like for the production pipes becomes either totally redundant or can be replaced by for example simple hose-based transfer systems, and traditional flange connections .
  • anchor lines are fastened to turnable line leads (eng: fair leads) , pulleys, or the like, where for example the line lead rotates around its own axis of rotation.
  • An anchoring " turret " built into the float construction can be employed as an anchoring fastening, but the preferred solution is that the anchoring lines are fastened to the float construction itself. With anchoring amidships, the vessel/dock will be dependent upon the propulsion installation which acts sideways for maintaining the direction towards the weather. Alternatively suitable support anchoring lines can be used for orienting the direction of the vessel, in addition to the conventional anchoring.
  • anchoring lines for turning the vessel according to the weather can be placed either on the vessel or on the float construction.
  • Various anchoring systems are relevant for use in connection with the invention, such as chains, wires, synthetics, etc..
  • the design of the anchoring system will be dependent upon the size of the vessel and the float construction, the local environmental conditions, water depth, design requirements, etc., but typically one can look for the use of 6 - 12 anchor lines.
  • the vessel and the float construction is to be able at times to be disconnected, and the float construction is to be able to lie alone back at the area in an anchored condition, it is regarded as a clear advantage that the most possible of the anchoring lines, preferably all lines, are fastened to the float construction, and thus the fewest possible, preferably none, of the anchoring lines are fastened to the vessel, during operation.
  • the float construction can be structurally designed in a series of ways, depending upon environmental conditions, size of production vessel, etc., for example as a pure sheet-strut hull, by welding together pipe-formed floating bodies in the form of pontoons and columns, or the like. Structurally the same principles can be employed as for a semi-sub, in the form of pontoons and columns. In individual ocean environments this is very advantageous, in that the force of the waves on the float construction during extreme weather conditions, when the float construction lies moored alone, is substantially reduced compared with the coupled unit of vessel and float construction.
  • the shape of the float construction can vary as required.
  • the float construction preferably has a length which is 1/2-1/5 of the length of the vessel, especially preferred 1/4-1/5.
  • Figures 6 and 7 there is shown a larger edition where the ratio is about 1/2, and in this case the float construction can be employed for example for the storage of fluids.
  • the float comprises a sidewall, that is to say that the float construction is an approximate barge, a semi-submersible construction, or the like, where the production vessel is coupled or fastened to the outer side of the float construction, closest as to a quay.
  • the coupling of the production vessel to the float construction which occurs by the use of various devices and methods well-known per se , if desired in a combination between them, such as mechanical locking, mooring, lifting of the dock until contact with the vessel by means of deballasting or if desired winch arrangements, use of hydraulic locking systems, or the like.
  • the float construction can also be equipped with installations for drilling or well interventions, either complete installations corresponding to those one finds on survey rigs or parts of such an installation where the remainder of the systems, such as electric power generation, mud treatment, or the like is placed on board the vessel. It is regarded as an advantage that the axis of rotation for the production vessel/float construction is approximately the same as the axis of rotation of the prospective drill stem, drilling taking place either from the vessel or from the dock.
  • the float construction can also be equipped and designed for the storage of oil if this is desirable. In this case it can be advantageous to install unloading equipment on board the float construction.
  • the float construction is not permanently manned in the form of accommodation quarters, offices, or the like, because it can be cost-effective that the float construction and necessary equipment on board are designed with a view to large sea gushes and timely submerging in the worst storms. This is possible with the known technology, and it is important that the float construction can rapidly resume the operations when the weather has improved and coupling together with the production vessel is carried out.

  • the locking arrangement 13 can be mechanical, mooring with ropes, hydraulic locking or the like, but will be arranged so that the vessel and the float construction can both be easily and safely disconnected and connected.
  • the level of the float construction 2 in the sea can if desired be raised or lowered by ballasting, or by means of hoisting arrangements on the vessel. That is to say that when the vessel is led into the U shape of the float, then the vessel can either be lowered down until frictional contact is obtained with the float, or that the float is hoisted up.
  • the float construction 2 is anchored to sea bottoms by means of the anchor lines 3.
  • the number of anchor lines 3 and placement thereof will be dependent on the environmental forces and size of the construction.
  • the anchoring will be conventional and be based on chains, wires, synthetic materials, etc.. If tightening in of the lines 3 is desirable during the operations this is done for example with anchor winches 10.
  • the pulling in of the production risers 4,4' can be done either up to the production vessel 1 directly or preferably to the float construction 2.
  • the production risers 4,4' can either come from the well plate 11 (the well head) beneath the vessel or from other more remotely disposed locations on the sea bottom. If the production risers 4' are led up into the vessel it will be natural that this occurs through a vessel well 9. If these pipes 4 are led up into the float construction 2 a corresponding solution will be to lead them up through the well 8 which the float construction (ocean dock) is designed with.
  • the production vessel will with advantage be designed to be able to be positioned with both ends towards the weather, but not necessarily having a symmetric design.
