Definitions
- This invention relates generally to an offshore loading system for transferring hydrocarbon products via an offloading hose from a storage facility of a transport vessel such as a shuttle tanker. More specifically, the invention relates to a platform having a central region for production and/or processing and/or storage of hydrocarbons and a hose reel arranged adjacent to a service area.
- hydrocarbons e.g. crude oil and gas
- subsea reservoirs The production of hydrocarbons (e.g. crude oil and gas) from subsea reservoirs is facilitated by multiple large offshore production facilities located near one or more subsea wells.
- the offshore storage facility may comprise subsea storage cells integrated with a so-called Gravity Base Structure (GBS) platform or connected to a loading buoy of a fixed platform, or the offshore storage facility may be integrated in a so-called Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel which is maintained in position in a manner which is known in the art (e.g. moorings and/or thrusters controlled by dynamic positioning).
- GSS Gravity Base Structure
- FPSO Floating Production, Storage and Offloading
- the hydrocarbons are transferred from the offshore storage facility (e.g. platform) to the carrier (e.g. a shuttle tanker) via a flexible transfer conduit, commonly referred to as a marine hose.
- the hose may be stored on a reel on the platform and connected to an on-board piping system, e.g. via a so-called "pipeline-end manifold" (PLEM).
- POM pipeline-end manifold
- FIG. 1 illustrates the principle of a prior art hose reel station aboard a platform 1.
- a hose reel 3 is arranged near an edge of the platform.
- a service area 5 On the side of the reel 3 that faces the platform (and not out towards the sea) is a service area 5 in which the hose end portion 2' may be handled; e.g. pulled into and dismantled for maintenance.
- the platform process area 7 Immediately behind the service area is the platform process area 7.
- a platform having a central region for production and/or processing and/or storage of hydrocarbons and a hose reel arranged adjacent to a service area, characterized in that the hose reel is arranged outside the central region and oriented with its axis of rotation (a-a) being directed towards the central region, and the service area is not between the reel and the central region.
- the reel is arranged in a region near an edge of the platform.
- the service area is outside the central region.
- the hose platform comprises a hose guide structure in the platform, comprising curved side walls and configured for providing lateral support for the hose.
- the platform comprises a spooling gear, having a guide funnel for the hose and motion control means for controlled movement along the guide structure.
- the motion control means comprise releasable locking means, whereby the hose guide structure may be locked in a fixed position along the guide structure.
- the guide structure outline generally corresponds to the axial extension of the reel, and the guide structure is arranged substantially parallel with the reel axis of rotation, whereby the outer portion of the guide structure provides lateral support for the hose.
- the guide structure outline is rectangular, with the outer portion defining an end of the rectangle.
- the platform is an offshore storage facility for hydrocarbons and comprises a GBS or a floating structure.
- the invention makes valuable deck space available for e.g. process equipment, in that the service area is now no longer extending into the process area. This gives considerable cost savings during platform construction. Also, arranging the hose reel with its axis of rotation (and also the guide structure) pointing towards the central regions of the platform, as in the invention, makes it easier to transfer the forces imposed by the hose into the rigid deck structure - via the spooling gear and/or guide structure - than with the prior art arrangement where wide operating angles may require extra movable devices for arresting the loads imposed by the hose.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a part of a platform having a hose reel arrangement according to the prior art
- Figure 2 is a side view of a part of a platform, showing an embodiment of the hose reel arrangement according to the invention
- Figure 3 is a top view of the embodiment illustrated in figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a side view of a part of a platform, showing the embodiment of the hose reel arrangement according to the invention, including the guide structure;
- Figure 5 is a view of a part of the platform, as seen along the hose reel axis, showing the embodiment of the hose reel arrangement according to the invention, including the guide structure.
- Figure 6 is a side view of a spooling unit
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of a spooling unit assembled on guide rails
- Figure 8 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the hose reel arrangement according to the invention, including the guide structure and the spooling unit, and
- Figure 9 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the hose reel arrangement according to the invention, illustrating an alternative arrangement of the service area in relation to the hose reel.
- a hose reel 30 is placed towards the edge of a platform 10.
- the platform 10 which may be a GBS or a floating structure known in the art, comprises a hull 80, a process area 70 and a deck 60, part of which is cantilevered out over the water W.
- the reel's axis of rotation is indicated by the dotted line a-a, and is pointing towards the process area 70 in one direction and out from the platform in the other direction.
- Figure 1 illustrates a situation where the hose is connected to e.g. a shuttle tanker (not shown).
- the hose 2 passes through a guide structure 40 in the deck 60.
- the hose is only shown partly, as the connection to the shuttle tanker is well known in the art.
- Figures 4 and 5 illustrate how the guide structure 40 comprises curved side walls and provides lateral support for the hose.
- the guiding of the hose is advantageously provided by a spooling gear 90 (see figure 6), which comprises a guide funnel 93 for the hose and support-and-locking means (e.g. rollers) 91.
- Figure 7 illustrates the spooling gear arranged on a pair of tracks (e.g. rails) 92, and figure 8 shows the spooling gear and tracks arranged in relation to the deck opening (guide structure 40).
- the service area 50 and hose reel 30 are arranged outside of the process area 70.
- Figure 9 illustrates schematically a variant where the guide structure 40 and spooling gear 90 are arranged on the same side of the hose reel as the service area 50.
- the spooling gear 90 When the hose is being reeled out from, or onto, the hose reel, the spooling gear 90 is moved in a controlled manner (by motors, not shown) along the tracks 92, so as to guide the hose.
- the spooling gear When the hose reel is not rotating (e.g. in an offloading situation), the spooling gear is locked in position relative to the tracks (in a manner which per se is known in the art), such the roller motors, etc. do not take any loads during the offloading operation.
- the spooling gear may bear against one of the end portions of the guide structure 40 (e.g. as shown in figure 8).
- Figure 8 also shows how the guide structure 40 outline generally corresponds to the axial extension of the reel (rectangular) , and that the guide structure is arranged substantially parallel with the reel axis of rotation, whereby an outer portion 99 of the guide structure provides lateral support for the hose.
