Definitions

  • This invention is related to vortex induced vibration suppression devices, and to systems and methods for attaching the devices to structures to reduce drag and/or vortex induced vibration (VIV).
  • VIV vortex- induced vibrations
  • Drilling for and/or producing hydrocarbons or the like from subterranean deposits which exist under a body of water exposes underwater drilling and production equipment to water currents and the possibility of VIV.
  • Equipment exposed to VIV may include structures ranging from the tubes of a riser system, anchoring tendons, hoses, umbilicals, and other subsea members.
  • the first kind of stress as mentioned above is caused by vortex-induced alternating forces that vibrate the underwater structure in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the current. These are referred to as vortex-induced vibrations (VIV).
  • VIV vortex-induced vibrations
  • the second type of stress is caused by drag forces which push the structure in the direction of the current due to the structure's resistance to fluid flow.
  • the drag forces may be amplified by vortex induced vibrations of the structure. For instance, a structure that is vibrating due to vortex shedding will disrupt the flow of water around it more so than a stationary umbilical. This results in greater energy transfer from the current to the structure, and hence more drag.
  • U.S. Patent 6,695,539 discloses an apparatus and methods for remotely installing vortex-induced vibration (VIV) reduction and drag reduction devices on elongated structures in flowing fluid environments.
  • the apparatus is a tool for transporting and installing the devices.
  • the devices installed can include clamshell-shaped strakes, shrouds, fairings, sleeves and flotation modules.
  • U.S. Patent 6,695,539 is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
  • surface structure 102 is in body of water 100.
  • Surface structure 102 is connected to subsurface structure 103 at seabed 108 by connector member 104, such as a tower, riser, cable, or tendon.
  • Current 1 10 encounters connector member 104.
  • fairings 1 14 have been installed.
  • One or more collars may be installed between adjacent fairings.
  • the invention provides a system comprising a subsea structure beneath a body of water, subject to a water current; an installation vessel floating on the body of water; a line connected to the subsea structure and the installation vessel; and one or more vortex induced vibration suppression devices connected to the line, which have been lowered from the vessel to be installed on the subsea structure.
  • the invention provides a method, comprising installing a subsea structure in a body of water, wherein the subsea structure is subject to one or more water currents; covering at least a portion of an outside surface of the subsea structure; connecting at least one line to the subsea structure and to a surface vessel; lowering at least one vortex induced vibration suppression device from the vessel on the line; and installing the vortex induced vibration suppression device from the line to the exterior of the subsea structure, covering at least a portion of an outside surface of the subsea structure.
  • Advantages of the invention may include one or more of the following: improved systems and methods for suppressing VIV; systems and methods for suppressing VIV that do not suffer from the disadvantages of the prior art; systems and methods for providing VIV suppression devices to structures, and for improved installation systems and methods for the VIV suppression devices; and/or systems and methods of installing VIV suppression devices with fewer trips required to the surface.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a structure subject to a current.
  • Figures 2a-2e illustrate a system to install suppression devices on an underwater structure.
  • Figures 3a-3b illustrate a fairing system being installed around a structure.
  • System 200 includes surface structure 202 near the surface of the water, which is attached to connector member 204.
  • Connector member 204 is also connected to subsurface structure 203 near seafloor 208.
  • collar 220 Exterior to connector member 204 near seafloor 208, collar 220 has been installed.
  • Vessel 222 is also near the surface of the water, which is connected to collar 220 by one or more lines 224.
  • lines 224 can be connected to structure 202 by any suitable method, such as tying the line 224 near a joint of structure 202, near a flange of structure 202, welding or gluing line 224 to structure, or other suitable means as are known in the art.
  • fairings 214 have been lowered from vessel 222 towards collar 220 along line 224. Fairings 214 act to reduce drag and/or vortex induced vibration acting on connector member 204 due to current 210. Fairings 214 may be heavier than water so that they sink towards collar 220. Fairings may be attached to each other with connectors 216. Referring now to Figure 2c, vessel 222 is moved towards surface structure 202 so that fairings 214 and line 224 move closer to connector member 204.
  • subsurface vessel 230 with attachment mechanism 232, for example arms, to grip fairings 214.
  • Subsurface vessel 230 is used to install fairings 214 about connector member 204.
  • Fairings 214 may be heavier than water so that they sink towards collar 220. Alternatively, fairings 214 may be lighter than water so that they float towards another collar (not shown).
  • Fairing 314 may be installed about structure 304. Fairing 314 is biased to a closed position, for example by a spring or by an elastic material. Fairing 314 includes member 316, which keeps fairing 314 from closing. Fairing 314 includes connection mechanism, for example a male member 318a which can be received within and lock within a female member 318b. Fairing 314 includes two line guides 320a and 320b. Line guides 320a and 320b each can receive a line to lower fairing 314 to a desired location along structure 304, and to maintain the desired orientation of fairing 314 relative to structure 304, for example the opening of fairing 314 towards structure 304.
  • fairing 314 moves towards structure 304 as shown by the arrow, so that structure 304 disables member 316, and fairing 314 closes due to biasing force.
  • a space may be defined between the exterior of structure 304 and the interior of fairing 314, which allows fairing 314 to weathervane with varying current directions.
  • One or more portions of the system may be or contain copper to retard marine growth.
  • Fairings may be replaced with strakes, shrouds, wake splitters, tail fairings, buoyancy modules, or other devices as are known in the art.
