Definitions

  • This invention relates to a pipeline laying vessel and a method for laying a pipeline in a marine environment, in particular for laying a pipeline on a bottom of a seabed.
  • the invention further relates to a reel for use in the pipeline laying vessel and the method.
  • the invention also relates to the laying of a pipeline which extends from a seabed to a target location at or near the water level, which pipeline is also known as a riser.
  • J-lay An example of a J-lay vessel is disclosed in US 5 464 307.
  • An example of an S-lay vessel is disclosed in US 3 685 305.
  • An example of a G-lay vessel is disclosed in GB 2 287 517.
  • a different method of laying a pipeline is known as reeling, or reel-lay. In the reeling method, a relatively long section of pipeline is wound onto a reel positioned on board the pipeline-laying vessel prior to a pipeline laying operation. At the time of laying, the pipeline is unreeled from the reel and launched from the vessel.
  • An example of a reeling vessel is disclosed in GB 2 025 566 A.
  • the choice whether to perform J-lay, S-lay, G-lay or reeling in a given situation depends on a number of factors such as: water depth, diameter of the pipeline, wall thickness of the pipeline, a target position and a target orientation of the pipeline, a maximal allowed plastic deformation of the pipeline and other factors.
  • the J-lay method is often preferred as being more suitable for large water depths.
  • the J-lay method is also generally employed for a situation in which the quality of the pipeline is very important, such as for a riser, and for a situation in which a substantial plastic deformation of the pipeline is not acceptable.
  • J-lay is generally performed for pipes having thick walls, which render the pipe very rigid and difficult to wind onto a reel .
  • a pipeline is laid by reeling when a substantial length of pipeline is to be laid on the seabed. In the reeling method a certain amount of plastic deformation is accepted.
  • the vessel of US 6 371 694 comprises a launching ramp which is used both in the J-lay method and in the reeling method.
  • the pipeline may be unreeled from either of the reels.
  • a reeling operation may be continued by switching to the other reel.
  • a problem associated with the vessel of US 6 371 694 occurs when both the reels are empty. Then, the empty reels must each be reloaded with a new pipeline section before the reeling operation can be continued. This reloading is to be performed at the quayside by- winding a pipeline section onto the reels. For this reloading operation, the vessel must leave a location where the pipeline is laid and sail back to shore. The journey to shore, the winding of the pipeline onto the reels and the return journey to the laying location require a considerable amount of time (also called downtime) , which slows down the pipeline laying operation.
  • a further problem associated with the vessel of US 6 371 694 is that the launching ramp needs to be movable with respect to the vessel. For the reeling operation, it is necessary that the launching ramp be substantially aligned with the reel, which is in use. The pipeline from both reels is unreeled via the same launching ramp.
  • the launching ramp itself must be moved relative to the hull in order to substantially align it with one of the two reels. Pivoting the launching ramp about a vertical axis relative to the hull effects this movement.
  • the launching ramp however is a large, heavy and complex structure. Mounting the launching ramp pivotably about a vertical axis relative to the hull is very cumbersome. It is preferable to configure the pipeline laying vessel such that the launching ramp does not need to be pivoted relative to the vessel about a vertical axis .
  • the invention in a first aspect, relates to a pipeline-laying vessel comprising: - a connecting assembly configured for laying a pipeline by connecting consecutive pipe sections to a free end of the pipeline; - a reeling assembly configured for laying a pipeline by unreeling a pipe section from a reel; wherein the connecting assembly and the reeling assembly share at least a part of a support assembly for supporting the pipeline and/or pipe section, wherein the pipeline laying vessel further comprises an active reel position in which a reel is to be positioned during the unreeling of the pipe section from the reel, and wherein the pipeline laying vessel is configured to allow a reel to be moved to the active reel position and to be removed from the active reel position.
  • an empty reel may be removed from the active reel position and be replaced by a full reel so that the required downtime between the unreeling of two reels is substantially reduced.
  • the exchanging of the reels may be performed at sea, obviating the need for the vessel to return to shore for reloading of the reels .
  • the support assembly need not rotate about a vertical axis relative to the hull assembly in order to be aligned with a reel in the active reel position.
  • the connecting assembly and the reeling assembly are capable of laying what is known in the field of the art as a rigid pipeline, e.g. a steel pipeline having a substantial rigidity. Other metals or materials may also be used.
  • the connecting assembly generally comprises a support assembly for supporting a pipe section in an abutting position with the free end of the pipeline.
  • the support assembly has the form of a launching ramp or tower assembly.
  • the free end of the pipeline is supported on the vessel by a hang-off table.
  • the connecting assembly further typically comprises a welding station for welding pipe sections to the pipeline.
  • the reeling assembly generally comprises a pulling device for pulling the pipeline section from the reel, an aligner for giving the pipe an universal bending radius and for aligning the pipeline section with the firing line, a straightener for straightening the pipeline, and a support assembly for supporting the pipeline as it is advanced along the firing line on board.
  • the support assembly may be pivotable relative to the hull assembly about a substantially horizontal axis.
  • the pipeline-laying vessel may be configured such that the pipeline is advanced along a same trajectory on board the pipeline- laying vessel in the connecting method and in the reeling method.
  • This trajectory is also known as ⁇ firing line' or ⁇ lay path' in the field of the art.
  • the connecting assembly comprises a J-lay assembly configured for connecting pipe sections to the pipeline in a J-lay method.
  • the combination of the J-lay method with the reeling method is found to be very advantageous, because the J-lay method is very advantageous for risers, whereas the reeling method is very suitable for pipelines which are to rest on the seabed.
