Definitions

  • blowout preventers currently have large accumulator bottles on them that store hydraulic fluid under high pressures. This accumulated power is used in the event of an emergency blowout or loss of control of the well to close the BOP rams. When closed, the BOP rams are capable of shearing a drill pipe in the well bore and containing the well bore pressures.
  • the BOP accumulator systems have a number of negative implications, e.g. they take up a lot of space on the BOP stack; they weigh a lot; and they have reduced efficiency as water depth increases.
  • skid supplied power may be used but skid architecture typically uses power from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) or an umbilical to accomplish tasks like these.

Il peut éventuellement y avoir un ou plusieurs compartiments de flottaison avec un ou plusieurs flotteurs. L'opération d'alimentation peut être réalisée pour un dispositif sous-marin grâce au déploiement du système de plate-forme de pompage alimenté par batterie sous la mer, soit sur une base selon les besoins soit sur une base à plus long terme, grâce à la manœuvre du système de plate-forme de pompage alimenté par batterie près d'un dispositif sous-marin, et, une fois en place, grâce à l'utilisation du système de plate-forme de pompage alimenté par batterie afin d'effectuer une ou plusieurs fonctions prédéfinies par rapport au dispositif sous-marin, comme acheminer un fluide depuis la pompe jusqu'au dispositif sous-marin à l'aide de la puissance électrique provenant de la batterie.
