Definitions
- the present invention relates to a telescopic joint for use in a riser between a floating structure and a subsea installation, where the telescopic joint will compensate for vertical movement between the floating structure and the subsea installation.
- a marine riser connects a subsea installation, as for instance a wellhead, which is in a steady position relative the seabed, with a movable floating structure.
- the floating structure will as a consequence of the weather conditions and how this influences the floating structure, move relative to the seabed. Because of this there is a need for a tensioning system onboard the floating structure connected between the floating structure and the riser, which system is regulated to keep a steady tension in the rise independent on the movement of the floating structure. With a mainly vertical riser there is also a need to keep a given tension in the riser to prevent the riser to collapse and/or buckle.
- the marine riser serves as a conduit between the surface and the wellhead. When used for drilling purposes it is called a drilling riser.
- a bottom part of the riser may be kept under a constant tension while an upper part of the riser may be regulated to follow the movement of the floating structure and thereby giving a safer working environment for the personnel.
- telescopic joint configurations for use in a riser.
- patent NO 315807 Bl there is described the use of a telescopic joint in a workover riser, which telescopic joint is telescoping and regulating a top of the riser together with a working platform, when there is no pressure within the riser but where the telescopic joint will be fully stretched out when there is a pressure within the riser.
- NO 317295 Bl there is described another telescopic joint for a riser, where the telescopic joint is locked in a collapsed position for handling high pressures within the riser.
- An aim with the present invention is to improve working environment for the seals in a telescopic joint in a riser, reduce the overall size and length envelope of a telescopic joint while maintaining the functionality in operation for the applicable operating modes. It is another aim to provide a telescopic joint where particles and aggressive fluid has less influence on the service life of the seals and sealing surfaces in the telescopic joint. Another aim is to provide a telescopic joint which may in a better way handle side loads and pressure differential across the seals in the joint. It is also an aim to provide a telescopic joint where on may test the seal barriers in order to establish if the telescopic joint is leak tight.
- the present invention relates to a telescopic joint for use in a riser extending between a floating structure and a subsea installation, comprising an outer element and an inner element slidably arranged within the outer element forming an internal flow passage for well fluids within the and through the telescopic joint.
- a riser may be any elongated element with an internal chamber stretching in a mainly vertical direction between the subsea installation and the floating structure.
- the subsea installation may be a wellhead, a manifold or other equipment position on the seabed. There is also the possibility that the subsea installation is positioned in a distance from the seabed, but then kept in a steady position relative the seabed.
- the floating structure may be any kind of floating structure, a semi submersible platform, a production and or storage vessel.
- the outer element may be arranged in connection with an upper or lower part of the riser, i.e. it is envisaged that the telescopic joint may be turned around.
- the inner and outer elements are formed with sealing elements between them defining at least one annular chamber between the inner and outer element in different states of the telescopic joint, as telescoping, fully extended and or fully collapsed.
- At least one of the at least one annular chambers is adapted for a barrier fluid having several functions where one of the being as working as a barrier fluid for the sealing elements.
- At least one of the sealing elements is separating a well fluid within the internal flow passage from this annular chamber.
- the joint may also comprise arrangements for preventing the well fluids from entering into the barrier fluid.
- Particles and aggressive fluids within the internal flow passage of the telescopic joint can significantly reduce the service life for seals and sealing surfaces in a telescopic joint. This is aggravated if the pressure differential across the seal is high with the aggressive side having the higher pressure.
- this is solved by having an arrangement preventing the well fluid from entering into the barrier fluid, which arrangement comprises means for regulating the pressure of the barrier fluid within the annular chamber.
- seal wear When a telescopic joint is subjected to a flow of a well fluid stream, seal wear must not cause leakage of the well fluid to the environment and it must be possible to test the seal barriers in order to establish if the telescopic joint is leak tight.
- This is solved by the invention by the pressure difference between the barrier fluid and the well fluid and one may monitor the barrier fluid to monitor the condition of the sealing elements in the telescopic joint.
- the arrangement may comprise a fluid circuit comprising means to circulate the barrier fluid within the annular chamber.
- This circulation may be achieved by having a system with a pipeline and one-way valves where the telescoping effect of the telescopic joint gives the pumping action within the fluid circuit; another possibility is to have specific means as a pump to provide circulation. One may even have a system adapted for both such means for providing circulation.
- the fluid circuit may comprise means cooling the barrier fluid within the annular chamber of the telescopic joint. This circuit may also comprise means for filtering the barrier fluid within the annular chamber of the telescopic joint.
- the telescopic joint will during its operation experience side loads and pressure differential across the sealing elements in the telescopic joint, these situations causes friction between relative movable parts as for instance sealing elements and sealing surfaces when subjected to axial movement during telescopic motion.
- the friction generates heat and depending on the velocity, cooling and lubrication is necessary in order to avoid seal damage and scouring, potentially jamming of relative moveable parts in the telescopic joint, which is solved by the aspect of the present invention as stated above.
- the telescopic joint comprises means to provide the possibility of regulating the upper part of the telescopic joint in a given position relative the floating vessel, and at the same time keep the tension in the lower part if the riser.
- By controlling the pressure from the barrier fluid on the different surfaces on may regulate the positioning of the upper part of the telescopic joint to follow the movement to the vessel, move in a different way or be kept in a fixed position relative the seabed.
- the surfaces may be within the telescopic joint and or arranged in parts of the telescopic joint arranged outside the inner and outer element.
- the telescopic motion of the inner and outer element of the telescopic joint will causes volume changes in the riser.
- This buffering volume can either be inline with the riser as described in the applicants own patent NO 322172 or as according to an aspect of the invention connected through an aperture in riser wall and or one of the elements forming the telescopic joint, joining the internal bore with a tank or device with a buffering functionality.
- this buffering volume may be solved by the telescopic joint further comprising a control cylinder comprising a first and second chamber each comprising a piston head, which piston heads are connected by a piston rod and thereby mechanically linked to each other.
- the first chamber on a side of the first piston head facing away from the second piston head or the piston rod is in contact with the annular chamber and the other side of the piston head is in contact with a first fluid source.
- This first fluid source is preferably a fluid source of a barrier fluid.
- the second chamber on a side of the second piston head facing away from the first piston head or the piston rod is in fluid contact with the internal flow passage thereby forming a buffering functionality for the well fluid.
- the other side of the second piston head is in contact with a second fluid source.
- the areas of the two piston heads facing away from each other may have different values and thereby giving the possibility of regulating the positioning of the upper part of the telescopic joint relative the floating vessel, as to follow it, have a given movement or be steady in relation to the seabed, at the same time as one keeps a tension in the lower part of the riser.
- the piston rod is intersecting an intermediate chamber arranged between the first and second chamber and the intermediate chamber is in fluid contact with a third fluid source.
- This third fluid source may be the barrier fluid, the same fluid source as the fist fluid source or another source.
- This intermediate chamber may have a barrier fluid at a set or regulated pressure preventing any well fluid from mixing with the barrier fluid.
- the part of the first chamber in fluid contact with the annular chamber is connected to at least one accumulator forming a buffering functionality for the barrier fluid within the annular chamber.
- This control cylinder arrangement may be formed by a separate cylinder or included in the inner and outer elements or formed between them.
- the inner element is formed with an end section, where a part of the outer wall of the end section is in abutment against a first inner wall of the outer element.
- the end section further comprises a graduated part.
- the graduated part is formed with a smaller diameter compared with the outer wall of the end section.
- An outer wall of the graduated part is in abutment against a second wall in a collapsed position of the telescopic joint where there are arranged static sealing elements in this connection.
- the graduation is formed to prevent the static seals from being in a sealing contact when the telescopic joint is in a normal telescoping mode.
- a second annular chamber between the inner element and outer element between the first and second wall, which in an embodiment is formed by the outer element.
- This second annular chamber is sealed off from the surroundings by dynamic sealing elements between the inner and outer element and static sealing elements between the inner element and the second wall.
- the dynamic sealing elements being the sealing elements separating the well fluids from the barrier fluid during telescoping movements of the joint and the static sealing elements separating the well fluid from the second annular chamber in a collapsed state of the joint.
- the telescopic joint further comprises means for supplying barrier fluid to this second annular chamber, preferably at a pressure higher than the well fluid, preventing well fluids from entering the second annular chamber in a collapsed state of the joint.
- the second wall may be formed by a separate head element arranged movable relative the outer element and which forms a third annular chamber between the head element and the outer element with sealing elements around this third annular chamber, and the outer element comprises means for adding a fluid to the third annular chamber.
- the outer element may comprise means for limiting the movement of the head element relative the outer element, this may for instance be shoulders within the outer element of the telescopic joint.
- the telescopic joint may be locked so that the inner and outer elements are kept in a relative position to each other. This may be done according to one aspect in any position between a fully extended and retracted position. This may be done by locking an incompressible barrier fluid within the annular chamber, and thereby preventing any further movement between the inner and outer element of the joint.
- a locking function may be achieved by having a locking mechanism at one end of the telescoping joint preventing relative movement between the parts.
- a telescopic joint according to the invention may comprise some of or all of the different aspects of the invention as described above.

- the second inner wall 145' in this embodiment for abutment against these static sealing elements 138 is formed by a head element 150 arranged movable within the outer element 100.
- the head element 150 is formed with a mainly cylindrical first part 151 , a radial transition part 152 and a mainly cylindrical second part 153.

- This third annular chamber 125 is also in fluid contact with a fluid source through a third fluid port 126.
- a barrier fluid is added to this third annular chamber 125 with a pressure, and this pressure is regulated so that the head element 150 is moved relative the outer element 100 but kept in a relative position in relation to the inner element 101, thereby giving true static conditions for the static sealing elements 138.
- the head element 150 is movable relative the outer element 100 but limited in its movement in one direction by a first stopping shoulder 127 formed in connection with the second annular chamber 124.
- the head element 150 is limited in its movement in the opposite direction by a second stopping shoulder 128 formed as a surface of the third annular chamber 125.
- the purpose of the head element 150 is to ensure that the static sealing elements 138 towards the telescopic inner element 101 remain static.
- the telescopic inner element 101 and telescopic outer element 100 will be subjected to small relative movements caused by differences in length due to temperature, axial forces and bending moments.
- the size of the relative movement can be in the order of several millimetres depending on the applied loads and thermal transients.
- the head element 150 is such designed that the application of the pressure to the third annular chamber 125 actuates the head element 150 while the stroke is limited to significantly less than the travel needed to expose the dynamic seals 135', 135". This effectively ensures that the static sealing elements 138 remains true static while the dynamic sealing elements 135', 135" will always remain within a non exposed sealing area.
- the annular chamber 124 may as in the previous explained embodiments be in connection with a source of a barrier fluid.
- a fully extended position is shown in fig. 5.

- the graduated section 136' is formed with an outer wall 137' wherein there is arranged static sealing elements 138' between the outer wall 137' and a second inner wall 145'.
- the movement of the inner element in one direction along the longitudinal axis is prevented by a stopping surface 127' formed by a shoulder of a part forming a part of the outer element 100.
- a telescopic joint may comprise one, some or all of the different aspects.
- a telescopic joint according to the invention one may achieve that the hydraulic system for the barrier fluid maintains hydraulic pressure above the well bore pressure in order to prevent ingress of particles and well fluids.
- the telescopic motion will provide a pumping action towards the barrier fluid such that it is circulated through a cooler without the use of a pump in the lubrication system.
- the cooling of the barrier fluid is beneficial because high axial velocity in combination with high bending loads causes heat generated due to friction.
- the hydraulic system can as stated be connected to an external high pressure unit (HPU) which enables inline tensioning of the telescopic joint and helping to provide a closing force when moving the telescopic joint to collapsed (closed) position.
- HPU high pressure unit
- Passive compensation can be provided by charging the hydraulic system with pressure.
- An accumulator will allow for volume compensation in the hydraulic system during telescopic motion.
- the hydraulic system can be controlled by a governing/regulating system or controlled in sequence by the thus providing the ability to provide active (forced) compensating movement.
- the active compensating mode may automatically revert to passive mode in case there is a malfunction in the regulating system.
- the hydraulic system can be furnished with a particle filter integral with the fluid chamber and a cooler which can be located inside the telescopic joint assembly.
- the accumulator will dampen a recoil motion in the riser.
- volume compensation When operating in extreme aggressive environments (high particle content or subjected to substances with severe degradation of seal materials i.e. chemicals) it may be a disadvantage if the volume compensation is located in the riser.
- volume compensation By allowing volume compensation to take place outside the telescopic joint, seals are more readily accessible and the design of the volume compensator can have facility for flushing of debris, multiple chambers for protection of the hydraulic lubrication and seals.
- the elimination of volume compensation as an inline chamber located on the telescopic joint also significantly reduces the length of the telescopic joint. This is advantageous on rigs/vessels where space and crane capacity for handling are the limiting factors. Especially as retrofit to existing systems can this be of significance.
- the telescopic joint according to the invention may be locked in any position, either by closing in the barrier fluid within the first annular chamber or by having an external locking mechanism.
