Definitions
- the present invention relates to an installation for transferring liquefied gas at sea, in particular liquefied natural gas, as described in the preamble to claim 1.
- Processes are known for filling transport vessels with natural gas and liquefied natural gas.
- gas transport vessels include gas transport tanks in liquid state and, in certain cases (liquefied petroleum gas), a gas liquefaction installation.
- the liquefaction installation is connected to a transfer line which is connected to a source of liquefied gas, for example a storage tank on land or at sea.
- Methods of loading a boat with liquefied gas are also known, in which the gas is liquefied and. stored in a temporary storage tank located for example on a production platform '. Then the liquefied gas is transferred to the boat through a transfer facility.
- Such a transfer installation is described in document FR-A-2 793 235.
- This transfer installation is composed of a plurality of segments of pipes articulated in the form of deformable diamonds, the ends of which are connected on the one hand to a connection system of the ship, and on the other hand to a pipe arranged along a crane.
- This installation must meet significant mechanical constraints. It is placed close to the production platform and must be able to adapt to the movements of the production platform (six degrees of freedom including roll, pitch, heave, cavalier).
- the installation includes numerous rotating joints which are constantly in motion. Its maintenance is therefore relatively expensive.
- This type of installation is used for loading and unloading LNG carriers in the ports of terminals for the production or reception of liquefied natural gas, along sheltered piers.
- liquefied gas transfer installations are known. These facilities are used to transfer liquefied gas or liquefied natural gas (LNG) between two boats. They imply that the two boats are positioned one behind the other or side by side.
- LNG liquefied natural gas
- the distance separating the boats is relatively short.
- the two boats have large and comparable dimensions and are subject to swell and currents. Thus, each of them moves with six degrees of freedom and relatively independently of the other.
- the transfer facility is designed to take into account these relative movements of the two boats which are otherwise dependent on weather conditions
- Another transfer installation known for example from patent application FR-A-2 815 025, comprises a flexible catenary transfer pipe connecting the storage installation to the transport vessel. At rest, the flexible pipe is stored on a gantry linked to a production and storage facility. The flexible pipe is connected to the vessel via a connection module integral with or independent of this flexible pipe.
- WO 01/87 703 an installation for transferring a production site to an LNG carrier is proposed. This installation consists of an arm placed on the production site and extending over a length of 30 to 60% of the safety distance between the two vessels. A flexible pipe is wound on a wheel at the end of the arm. This line is connected to the LNG carrier during the transfer.
- the pipes used for the transfer of gas have only a relatively short length (less than 100 meters) and extend above the surface of the sea. Consequently, the loading of the boat can only be carried out when it is near the platform or the distributing vessel, which creates the risk of collision and makes the transfer device very dependent on weather conditions.
- the aim of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, and to propose an installation for transferring a liquefied gas which is economical and which is safe.
- the subject of the invention is an installation of the aforementioned type, characterized by the characteristics of claim 1.
- the installation includes one or more of the characteristics of dependent claims 2 to 13.
- the invention further relates to the use of an installation as defined above for transferring a liquefied gas of an .First tank to a second tank.
- FIG. 1 is a ' schematic view of an embodiment of a transfer installation according to the invention, in partial section.
- FIG. 1 shows an installation for filling a boat 2 with liquefied gas or liquefied natural gas, designated by the general reference 4.
- gas will be used for any product or compound which, under ambient conditions (1013 hPa, 20 ° C) is in the gaseous state.
- liquid gas will be used for such a product which is at least partially in the liquid state, and the expression “gas in gaseous state” will be used for any product in gaseous state.
- the boat 2 is a tanker, known per se, on which is installed a transport tank 6 for liquid gas.
- the boat 2 is a vessel suitable for transporting liquefied gas, and in particular an LNG carrier.
- the installation 4 comprises a production installation (linked to or including a drilling installation comprising the gas producing wells) consisting for example of a production barge 9 or of a platform anchored or fixed to the seabed 10 by cables 12.
- the production installation is connected to a pocket of natural gas in the gaseous state 14 by a riser 15. This feeds a liquefaction device 16 of the gas in the gaseous state supported by the barge 9.
- An outlet from the liquefaction device 16 opens into a tank 18 for temporary storage of liquefied gas.
- the installation 4 also comprises means 20 for transferring liquid gas from the storage tank 18 to the transport tank 6.
- the gas transfer means 20 in the transport tank 6 comprise a loading buoy 22 to which the tanker is connected for loading.
- this loading buoy 22 is spaced distally from the production barge 9. This configuration allows the tanker or LNG carrier to move and moor independently of barge 9 without risk of collision.
- the connection between the loading buoy 22 and the transport tank 6 of the boat 2 is effected by a loading pipe 24.
- the loading pipe 24 extends entirely above the surface M of the sea. It has temporary connection means 25 to the tank 6.
- the tank 6 is filled with liquefied gas or liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the loading buoy 22 to transport this gas on land.
- LNG liquefied natural gas
- the loading line 24 is known per se. It can either be constituted by sections of rigid pipe, linked together by rotary joints, or by a flexible pipe.
- the loading line 24 is supported by a suitable support structure, such as a crane (not shown) or floating and designed accordingly.
- the loading buoy 22 is anchored to the seabed 10 by cables and / or chains 26 and is spaced distally from the production barge 9.
- the distance A between the loading buoy 22 and the production barge is greater than 300 m, and will preferably be of the order of one nautical mile (1.852 km).
- the loading buoy 22 is small compared to the boat 2.
- the boat 2 is subject to swell, currents and weather conditions. It can rotate freely, around the loading buoy 22 when loading the liquefied gas or liquefied natural gas.
- the transfer means 20 also comprise a transfer line 28 immersed in water, which connects the storage tank 18 to the loading buoy 22.
- the transfer line 28 is adapted to transfer liquid gas from the production barge 9 to the loading buoy 22, while being immersed in water during the transfer of the liquefied gas.
- the barge 9 forms a first terminal of the transfer line 28 and the loading buoy 22 forms a second terminal of the transfer line 28.
- the terminals in this case the loading buoy 22 and the production barge 9, can move independently of each other in all directions over a distance of up to 10% of the water depth by great depth and more for depths less than 150m.
