    [0001] The present invention relates to the field of drilling and oil exploitation of deposit in very deep sea. It concerns a riser section. A riser (or "riser") is formed by a set of tubular elements of length between 15 and 27 m (50 and 90 feet), assembled by connectors. The tubular elements generally consist of a main tube provided with connectors at each end. Tubular auxiliary pipes also called peripheral pipes commonly called "kilt line", "choke line", "booster line" and "hydraulic line" allowing the circulation of technical fluids are provided parallel to the main tube. The tubular elements are assembled on the drilling site, from a floating support. The column descends into the water portion as the assembly of the tubular elements, until reaching the wellhead located on the seabed. In order to drill at water depths up to 3500 m or more, the weight of the riser becomes very penalizing. This phenomenon is aggravated by the fact that, for the same maximum operating pressure, the length of the column imposes an inner diameter of the auxiliary lines larger given the need to limit the pressure losses. Furthermore, the need to reduce the assembly time of the risers is all the more critical as the water depth, and therefore the length of the column, are important. The documents FR 2925105, FR 2956693 and FR 2956694 describe various solutions including proposing to involve the auxiliary conduits, together with the main tube, the recovery of the longitudinal forces applied to the riser. However for the systems described in these patents, the attachment of the auxiliary lines with respect to the main tube causes high tensile forces in the auxiliary lines. In order to resist these tensile forces, the thicknesses of the auxiliary lines are large, which generates an increase in the mass, the size of the floats and consequently the cost of the riser. The present invention discloses a solution that provides a compact design of the connectors by means of an internal locking ring. According to the invention, the auxiliary lines are movable by means of a sliding pivot connection, the relative movement of which is limited by a clearance adjusting means. The connectors according to the invention are well suited for risers installed in the deep sea. , that is to say at a depth greater than 2000 meters. Thus, the thicknesses of the auxiliary lines can be reduced, which allows gains on the mass of the floats, on the total mass of the riser, on the cost of the riser. The device according to the invention The invention relates to a riser section comprising a main tube element extended by a male connector element and a female connector element comprising a first series of tenons on its inner face, in which a ring of locking is mounted on said male connector member, the outer surface of said locking ring comprising at least a second set of tenons, said riser portion further comprising at least one auxiliary tube member. Said auxiliary tube member is integral with one end of said main tube member and is connected by a sliding pivot connection with the other end of said main tube member, said sliding pivot connection allowing relative translational movement between said tube member; main and said auxiliary tube member for a limited distance by game adjustment means placed on said auxiliary tube member. According to the invention, said game adjustment means is formed by a nut or a threaded piece. According to an alternative embodiment, said auxiliary tube element is extended on the one hand by a socket and on the other by a male end equipped with a nut.
    [0002] According to a second alternative embodiment, said auxiliary tube element is extended on the one hand by a female end and on the other by a receptacle, in which is inserted a male pin equipped with a stop. Alternatively, said auxiliary tube element is extended on the one hand by a receptacle, in which is inserted a female pin, and on the other hand by a receptacle, in which is screwed a male threaded pin, said male threaded pin comprising a shoulder .

    [0004] In addition, said auxiliary tube member may be a steel tube shrunk by reinforcing threads, such as glass, carbon, or aramid fibers embedded in a polymer matrix. In one embodiment, said male and female connector members extend the main tube member by increasing the section and thickness of said main tube member to form flanges for passage of said auxiliary tube member. Advantageously, said sliding pivot connection is made in a flange of said male connector element. According to one aspect of the invention, said riser section comprises a locking ring cooperating with the peripheral surfaces of said flanges to assemble said flanges. Preferably, the inner face of said locking ring is provided with a first set of tenons and the peripheral surface of the flange of said female connector element comprises a second set of tenons.

FIG. 11 is a curve representing the mass of the riser according to the game for an example according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 schematizes an riser 1 installed at sea. The riser 1 extends the well P and extends from the wellhead 2 to a floating support 3, for example a platform or a boat. The wellhead 2 is provided with shutter commonly called "B.O.P." or "Blow Out Preventer". The riser 1 is constituted by the assembly of several sections 4 assembled end to end by connectors 5. Each section is composed of a main tube element 6 provided with at least one auxiliary pipe element 7, also called pipe peripheral. The auxiliary lines called "kilt line" or "choke line" are used to ensure the safety of the well during the course of procedures for controlling pressurized fluids coming into the well. The "choke" line is a safety line that carries fluids (oil, water, gas) from the well during an approach and directs them to the choke manifold and the torch. The line "kilt" is a safety line that allows to inject into the well heavy fluids and cements to stop an uncontrollable eruption otherwise. The so-called "booster line" makes it possible to inject mud into the well in order to increase its speed of ascent and to avoid the sedimentation of the cuttings; it is also used to replace the sludge contained in the riser with water before disconnecting. The pipe called "hydraulic line" allows to control the shutter of the wellhead. The hydraulic lines are used to supply the safety devices of the BOPs (valves and accumulators) with hydraulic fluid (distilled water charged with glycol) under pressure. FIG. 2 diagrammatically represents a section 4 of the riser according to one embodiment of the invention. The section 4 comprises a main tube element 6 whose axis is the axis of the riser. The auxiliary tubes 7 constitute lines or auxiliary lines arranged parallel to the axis of the main tube. The auxiliary tube elements 7 have lengths substantially equal to the length of the main tube element 6, generally between 10 and 30 meters. There is at least one line 7 disposed at the periphery of the main tube. In Figure 2, two lines 7 are schematized. A connector 5 shown in FIG. 1 consists of two elements designated, with reference to FIG. 2, by the female connector element 8 and the male connector element 9.
    [0009] The connector elements 8 and 9 are mounted at the ends of the main tube element 6. The female connector element 8 is integral with the tube 6, for example by means of welding, screwing, crimping or a wedge connection. The male connector element 9 is integral with the tube 6, for example by means of welding, screwing, crimping or a wedge connection. The assembly of the male connector element 9 with a female connector element 8 of another section forms the connector 5 which transmits forces of a riser section to the next section, in particular the longitudinal forces to which the riser is subjected. . The connector 5 can be designed and dimensioned to meet the specifications mentioned by the API 16 R and API 2RD standards published by the American Petroleum Institute. FIG. 3 represents a male connector element 9 which is fitted into a female connector element 8. A portion of the male connector element 9 penetrates into the female connector element 8. This interlocking is limited by an axial abutment: the end of the male connector element 9 abuts against the axial shoulder formed on the inner surface of the female connector element 8: the axial shoulder formed on the outer surface of the male connector element 9 abuts against the shoulder As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the male connector element 9 may comprise a sleeve 10 fixed in the male connector element. The sleeve 10 has a role of centering and sealing male connector elements 9 and female 8. The attachment of the sleeve 10 can be performed by welding, threading, gluing, hooping or any other similar means. Instead of the sleeve 10, non-illustrated alternative embodiments may be envisaged, such as an extension of the main tube element 6. The connector 5 comprises a locking ring 11 which is positioned between the male connector element 9 and the female connector element 8, the locking ring is then an inner ring, placed within the female connector element. When the male connector element 9 is fitted into a female connector element 8, a part of the ring 11 enters the female element 8 so that a series of tenons 12 located on the outer surface of the ring 11 cooperate. with a series of tenons located on the inner face of the female element 9. The locking and unlocking of the connector 5 are made by rotation of the ring 11 (bayonet type locking). The ring 11 may be provided with an operating means, for example a maneuvering bar which can be dismountable. The operating bar makes it possible to turn the ring 11 in its seat made in the female connector element 8, around the axis of the main tube. The longitudinal forces, that is to say which are directed along the axis of the main tube, are transmitted from a section 4 to the adjacent section 4 via the bayonet type connection between the ring 11 and the 8. More precisely, the longitudinal forces are transmitted from the studs 12 of the ring 11 to the tenons of the female connector element 8.
    [0010] The locking ring 11 is mounted on the male connector element 9. According to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the locking ring 11 comprises on its outside face another series of tenons 16 cooperating with a series of tenons located on the inner face of the male connector element 9. Thus, the locking ring 11 is attached to the male connector element, when riser sections are connected.
    [0011] In unlocked situation, the ring is integral with the male element by means of pins (not shown in Figure 3). In addition, this embodiment of the locking ring 11 allows for a completely removable connector to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the connector. This embodiment also makes it possible to produce a ring 11 and male connector elements 9 and 8 female quasi-symmetrical, which facilitates their manufacture. Referring to Figure 3, the ring 11 is mounted on the outer surface of the sleeve 10. It is maintained by means of the series of tenons of the ring and the male connector elements 9 and female 8. Thus, the axial forces pass from the male connector element 9 to the female connector element 8 via the teeth without passing through the sleeve 10. Alternatively to the bayonet assembly, the locking ring 11 is not provided with a series of pins on the connector side male 9; it is rotatably mounted on the male element 9, while being locked in translation, in particular in the direction of the axis of the main tube. The locking ring 11 is then held in a housing defined by shoulders.
    [0012] With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the female connector element 8 and the ring 11 respectively comprise a series of tenons constituted by two rings (or rows) of tenons or lugs, making it possible to ensure the axial locking of the connector 5. The tenons preferably extend in radial directions. According to a preferred embodiment, each ring (row) of tenons comprises four tenons. In Figure 4, the female connector element 8 comprises a first ring 8A of four tenons and a second ring 8B of four tenons. The ring 11 also comprises a first ring 12A of four tenons and a second ring 12B of four tenons. FIG. 4 represents only the lower part of the ring 11, that is to say only the part connected to the female connector element 8.
    [0013] The tenons are angularly offset from one crown to the other and inscribed in cylindrical surfaces of different radii. For example, the first and second rings of the female connector element 8 are respectively inscribed in cylindrical surfaces of radius r and R (with r <R). The first and second rings of the ring 11 are respectively inscribed in cylindrical surfaces of radius r 'and R' (with r '<R'). The radius r is slightly greater than the radius R 'so that the tenons of the second ring of the ring 11 can slide and rotate freely inside the cylinder formed by the inner surface of the tenons of the first ring of the female connector element. The tenons 12A of the first ring of the ring 11 cooperate with the tenons 8A of the first ring of the female connector element 8 to form a bayonet assembly. The tenons 12B of the second ring of the ring 11 cooperate with the tenons 8B of the second ring of the female connector element 8. More precisely when the ring 11 is engaged in the female connector element 8, the ring 11 follows a translation movement in the direction of the axis of the main tube according to the successive steps: - the second ring 12B of the ring 11 passes inside the first ring 8A of the female connector element 8, and then - the 12B of the second ring of the ring 11 engage between the pins 8B of the second ring of the female connector element 8 and simultaneously the tenons 12A of the first ring of the ring 11 engage between the pins 8A of the first ring of the female connector element 8, then - when the ring 11 comes into abutment, the tenons 12A of the first ring of the ring 11 are housed in a groove (shown schematically in Figures 3 and 4) made in the 8 of the female connector element 8 and the lugs 12B of the second ring of the ring 11 are housed in a groove (shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 3 and 4) made in female connector element 8 under the second ring 8B of the female connector element 8. Then when the ring 11 is in abutment against the female connector element 8, the ring 11 is pivoted so that the tenons of the ring are positioned facing the tenons of the female connector element. The tenons 12A of the first ring of the ring 11 are positioned facing the lugs of the first ring of the female connector element 8 and the lugs 12B of the second ring of the ring 11 are positioned facing the lugs 8B of the second ring of the female connector element 8. Thus, the tenons of the ring 11 are in axial abutments with respect to the tenons of the female connector element 8 and block in translation the female connector element 8 with respect to the male connector element 9.
    [0014] Each of the two bayonet assembly systems can provide between the tenons of the female element 8 and the tenons of the ring 11 contact over a total angular range that can reach 175 °. Preferably, the two assembly systems being angularly offset around the axis of the connector, the connector according to the invention allows to distribute the axial loads about 350 ° around the axis.
    [0015] Alternatively, according to the invention, the ring 11 and the female connector element 8 may each comprise only one crown: the tenons of the single ring of the ring 11 cooperate with the tenons of the single ring of the female connector element 8. The number of tenons per ring can vary, in particular according to the diameters of the inner tube and the forces to be transmitted by the connector.
    [0016] According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the bayonet locking system of the ring 11 in the male connector element 9 to the means of the series of tenons 16 is similar to the bayonet locking system of the ring 11 in the female connector element 8: - the male connector element 9 and the ring 11 respectively comprise two rings (or rows) of tenons or lugs, to ensure the axial locking of the connector 5, - the tenons preferably extend according to radial directions, the relations between the r, r ', R, and R' are also verified in order to insert the ring 11 into the male connector element 9, according to a preferred embodiment, each ring (row) of tenons comprises four tenons ... Figure 5 shows a ring 11 according to this embodiment. The locking ring 11 comprises a series of tenons 12 adapted to cooperate with a female connector element 8 to form a bayonet assembly and a series of tenons 16 adapted to cooperate with a male connector element 9 to form a bayonet assembly. Each series of tenons can be composed of two crowns with four tenons. As described with reference to Figure 4, the series of pins 12 comprises a first ring 12A and a second ring 12B cooperating with two rings of the female connector element. The series of tenons 16 comprises a first ring 16A of tenons and a second ring 16B of tenons. Advantageously, the series of tenons 16 is similar to the series of tenons 12, and the connection of the series of tenons 16 within the male connector element 9 and identical to the connection of the series of tenons 12 within the female connector element 8. Thus, the locking ring 11 is substantially symmetrical. Thanks to this assembly, the axial forces pass from the male connector element 9 to the female connector element 8 via the teeth without passing through the sleeve 10.
    [0017] In the connection ring 11 with respect to the male connector element 9, there can be provided pins supporting the weight of the ring when the connection is unlocked. A locking system makes it possible to lock the ring 11 in rotation. According to the invention, the auxiliary pipe element 7 is integrally connected with a recess connection (without relative movement between the parts) at one end of the main tube 6 and is connected by a sliding pivot connection with the other end of the main tube. In the present application, a sliding pivot connection designates a bond which links a first solid to a second solid, the first solid being able to translate with respect to the second solid in the direction of an axis and the first solid that can pivot relative to the second solid. around this same axis. Thus the auxiliary pipe element 7 can slide and pivot in its axial direction relative to the main pipe 6, the auxiliary pipe element 7 is not free of movement in the radial and tangential directions, that is to say ie in the directions of a plane perpendicular to FIG. 3. In other words, the riser section 4 comprises at each of its ends connecting means, shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, which allow one side of axially linking an auxiliary pipe element 7 to the main pipe 6 and on the other side forming the sliding pivot connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe 6.
    [0018] According to one embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 3, the connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is formed at the female connector element 8, and the pivot connection sliding between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is formed at the male connector element 9. Alternatively, the recess connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is carried out at the male connector element 9, and the sliding pivot connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is formed at the female connector element 8. Only the first variant is described in the following description, the second variant is deduced by symmetry. At the end of the section provided with the female connector element 8, the main tube 6 is extended by a shoulder or flange 23 having a cylindrical passage in which the auxiliary pipe element 7 can slide. The auxiliary pipe element 7 comprises a stop, for example a nut or a shoulder for axially positioning the element 7 with respect to the flange 23. When mounting the auxiliary pipe element 7 on the main pipe 6, a The abutment of the element 7 bears on the flange 23, for example against the axial shoulder formed in the cylindrical passage so as to form a recess connection without relative movement between the parts. At the end of the section provided with the male connector element 9, the main tube 6 is extended by a shoulder or flange 24 having a cylindrical passage in which the auxiliary pipe element 7 can slide and pivot. The auxiliary pipe element 7 comprises a clearance adjusting means 15 (or adjustable stop) for limiting the distance of the relative translational movement between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the flange 24. The clearance adjusting means 15 form a stop disposed at an adjustable distance J of the flange 24. Thus, during assembly a game J is set by the clearance adjustment means 15. Then when the riser is energized, the relative movement or deformation of the auxiliary pipe element 7 or the main pipe element 6 is limited by a distance J, beyond a certain tension, the clearance becomes zero and the auxiliary pipe element 7 abuts in the flange 24.
    [0019] The female connector elements 8 and male 9 have forms of revolution around the axis of the main tubular element. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the flanges 23 and 24 may comprise reinforcements positioned to the right of certain auxiliary lines (for example "choke line" and "kill line"). According to the invention, the connector elements 8 and 9 extend the main tube element 6 by increasing the thickness and the outer section of the tube, to form respectively the shoulders or flanges 23 and 24. Preferably, the outer section of the elements connectors 8 and 9 varies gradually along the axis 8, so as to avoid a sudden change in section between the tube 6 and the shoulders 23 and 24 which would weaken the mechanical strength of the connector 5. For example, with reference to the figure 2, the flanges 23 and 24 form holidays. The auxiliary tubes 7 are subjected to axial compression forces generated by the internal / external pressure difference which generates a "bottom effect" which applies to the ends of tubes (for example the auxiliary lines may be subjected to pressure of the order of 1034 bar or 15000 psi). Under these pressures, the elements of the main tube elongate and the elements of the auxiliary tubes are shortened until the clearance J is zero. When the set J becomes zero, all the lines lengthen identically. The elements of the main tube 6 are able to lengthen because they have to support all or partially, firstly the weight of the riser and the weight of the drilling mud, and secondly, the tension forces imposed on the riser to keep it substantially vertical. In general, the main tube elements at the top of the riser, that is to say close to the sea surface, undergo the maximum tension forces, so the maximum elongation. The elements of the auxiliary tubes 7 are likely to shorten under the effect of the difference between the internal pressure and the external pressure due to the fluid they contain. Indeed, the fluid applies a pressure on the ends of the auxiliary tube elements 7 by imposing compression forces on the auxiliary tube elements 7. In addition, the radial deformation of the tube due to the difference between the internal pressure and the external pressure causes a shortening of the tube. In general, the elements 4 at the bottom of the riser, that is to say near the seabed, undergo the maximum internal / external pressure difference, thus the maximum shortening. As long as the clearance J is positive, the auxiliary tube element 7 and the main tube element 6 at the same height can vary in length independently of one another. On the other hand, when the clearance J becomes zero, that is to say when the clearance adjusting means 15 is in contact with the flange 24, the auxiliary tube element 7 and the corresponding main tube element 6 form an assembly. hyperstatic: the auxiliary tube element 7 is integral with the main tube element 6 on the one hand at fastening means, and on the other hand at the stop which is in contact with the flange 24. By therefore, the main tube member 6 induces tensioning forces in the auxiliary tube member 7, and vice versa. Thus, these connections make it possible to distribute the tensioning forces applying to each of the sections of the riser, between the main tube 6 and the auxiliary pipe elements 7, while avoiding the buckling of the auxiliary pipe elements 7. L integration according to the invention via the introduction of the game J makes it possible to increase the contribution of the main tube and consequently to reduce the axial forces in the peripheral lines. The reduction of the axial forces in the peripheral lines thanks to this integration has a benefit on the dimensioning of the end pieces and on the dimensioning of the thicknesses of the auxiliary tubes. Advantageously, the game J is chosen as a function of the length of the section, in fact the deformations of the different lines depends on the length thereof. For a typical 75 or 90 ft (22.86 m and 27.43 m) riser section, clearance J is set between 0 and 1.5 inches (0 and about 38.1 mm). Preferably, the clearance J is chosen between 0.1 and 1 inch, (2.54 and 25.4 mm) for an optimal distribution of the forces in the lines, making it possible to generate a decrease in the mass of the riser. Alternatively, the clearance J is selected between 0.1 and 0.25 inches (2.54 and 6.35 mm). Alternatively, the clearance J is selected between 0.25 and 1 inch (6.35 mm and 25.4 mm). A preferred solution with a good compromise is a clearance of about 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) or an inch (25.4 mm). According to the invention, the clearance adjusting means 15 is made by a nut or by a threaded element. The clearance J is adjusted (before connection of the sections) as a function of the forces and pressures applied on the main tube elements 6 and the auxiliary tube elements 7. The presence of play has a benefit on the sizing of the ends of the peripheral lines and on the dimensioning of the thicknesses of the auxiliary tubes. FIGS. 8 to 10 illustrate three alternative embodiments of an auxiliary tube element 7 equipped with game adjustment means. According to a first variant embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3, 6 and 8, the elements 7 Auxiliary lines are connected end-to-end by means of couplings. A connector is composed of a male end 14 located at one end of the element 7 and a female end 13 located at the other end of the element 7. A male end 14 cooperates sealingly with the endpiece female 13 of another element 7. For example, the male end 14 of the connector is a tubular portion which fits into another tubular portion 13. The inner surface of the female end 13 is fitted to the outer surface of the the male end 14. Seals are mounted in grooves machined on the inner surface of the female end 13 to seal the connection. The connection allows axial movement of one of the elements 7 relative to each other, while maintaining the sealed connection between the two elements. The male end 14 and female 13 are fixed for example by welding or crimping to a central tube having substantially the same length as the main pipe element 6 which is attached to the auxiliary pipe element 7. For this embodiment of the invention, the invention, the game adjustment means is formed by a nut 15 positioned on the spigot end 14 on a threaded portion which is not intended to be inserted into a socket 13.
    [0020] According to a second variant embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 9, the elements 7 of auxiliary lines are connected end-to-end by means of connectors. A connector is composed of a male pin 18 inserted into a receptacle 17 at one end of the element 7 and a female end 13 located at the other end of the element 7. The male pin 18 cooperates sealingly with the female end piece 13 of another element 7. For example, the male pin 18 of the connector is a tubular portion which fits into another tubular portion 13. The inner surface of the female endpiece 13 is adjusted to the outer surface of the male pin 18. Seals are mounted in grooves machined on the inner surface of the female end 13 to seal the connection. The connection allows axial movement of one of the elements 7 relative to each other, while maintaining the sealed connection between the two elements. The female end piece 13 is fixed for example by welding or crimping to a central tube having substantially the same length as the main pipe element 6 to which is attached the auxiliary pipe element 7. The receptacle 17 is fixed for example by welding or crimping to the central tube. The male pin 18 is fixed to the receptacle 17 in particular by screwing. Thus, the male pin 18 is a wear part that can be changed during maintenance of the riser. For this variant embodiment of the invention, the clearance adjustment means is formed by a nut 15 positioned on the male pin 18 on a threaded portion that is not intended to be inserted into a socket 13.
    [0021] According to a third variant embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 10, the elements 7 of auxiliary lines are connected end-to-end by means of connectors. A connector is composed of a male pin 21 inserted into a receptacle 17 at one end of the element 7 and a female pin 19 inserted in a receptacle 20 at the other end of the element 7. The male pin 21 cooperates sealingly with the female pin 19 of another element 7. For example, the male pin 21 of the connector is a tubular portion which is inserted into another tubular portion 19. The inner surface of the female pin 19 is fitted to the outer surface of the pin 21. Seals are mounted in grooves machined on the inner surface of the female pin 19 to seal the connection. The connection allows axial movement of one of the elements 7 relative to each other, while maintaining the sealed connection between the two elements. The receptacle 20 is fixed for example by welding or crimping to a central tube having substantially the same length as the main pipe element 6 to which is attached the auxiliary pipe element 7. The female pin 19 is fixed to the receptacle 20 in particular by screwing. The receptacle 17 is fixed for example by welding or crimping to the central tube. The male pin 21 is fixed to the receptacle 17 in particular by screwing. Thus, the male pin 21 and female 19 are wear parts that can be changed during maintenance of the riser. For this embodiment of the invention, the game adjustment means is formed by the pin 21 which is threaded in the receptacle and which has a shoulder 22 providing the stop. According to one embodiment of the invention, the auxiliary tube elements 7 are tubes shrunk by reinforcing threads, such as glass, carbon, or aramid fibers embedded in a polymer matrix. Thus, the resistance and the weight of the auxiliary lines are optimized. Indeed, the present invention is particularly suitable for the fretted auxiliary tube elements which have the advantage of reducing the thickness of steel and therefore the weight of the riser. The disadvantage of hooping to have a lower stiffness in bending is compensated by the clearance that limits the buckling of the auxiliary lines. Alternatively, the main tube and auxiliary tube elements may be composed of aluminum alloy or titanium alloy. The fact of arranging the ring 11 between the male connector element 9 and the female connector element 8 allows a more compact organization of the connector 5. The position of the ring 11 makes it possible to reduce the size of the connector in the radial direction. Consequently, it is possible to limit the spacing, with respect to the axis of the main tube, of the elements 7 arranged at the periphery of the connector 5. Consequently, the reduced spacing of the element 7 with respect to the axis AA allows to minimize the bending forces to which the flanges 23 and 24 are subjected. Indeed, the flanges 23 and 24 transmit, and therefore support, the longitudinal forces which are taken up by the elements 7. The spacing of the elements 7 relative to each other. to the axis constitutes a lever arm which, coupled with the longitudinal forces taken up by the elements 7, induce bending forces in the flanges 23 and 24. The compact connector according to the invention minimizes the bending forces in the flanges , and therefore reduce the dimensions of the flanges 23 and 24 and lighten the weight of the connectors. In addition, the device according to the invention offers an interesting solution to quickly and simply mount a riser whose tensioning forces are distributed between the auxiliary tube elements and the main tube. Indeed, although the auxiliary tube elements 7 and the main tube element 6 are mounted so as to jointly support the voltage forces applied to the column, the connection of a section 4 of the riser to another section 4 riser is made in one operation by means of the ring 11. This connection makes it possible to connect and seal the main tube element of one section with that of the other section and simultaneously to communication and seal the auxiliary pipe elements of one section with those of the other section. Moreover, the fact that the ring 11 is positioned between the male connector element 8 and the female connector element 9 makes it possible to increase the resistance of the connector. Indeed, the ring 11 is mechanically held on the inside by the housing formed in the female connector element 8. In addition, in the locked position, the tenons of the ring 11 are engaged with the tenons of the female connector element 8 which are positioned on the solid part of the female connector element 8.
    [0022] Therefore, the combination of the internal ring locking and the existence of play in the connection of the auxiliary tube elements optimizes the weight of the riser. Embodiment variant According to a second embodiment of the invention, the riser section further comprises a locking ring for the connection of two consecutive sections. This locking ring is said to be external or peripheral because it cooperates with the periphery of the flanges of the male and female connector elements, so as to assemble them. Thus, two consecutive sections are assembled by two elements: an internal locking ring and a peripheral locking ring, in order to transmit the axial forces. Figure 6 illustrates the second embodiment of the invention. The elements identical to the first embodiment are designated by the same reference signs. In the same way as for the first embodiment illustrated in particular in FIG. 3, a male connector element 9 is fitted into a female connector element 8. A portion of the male connector element 9 penetrates into the female connector element 8. This interlocking is limited by an axial abutment: the end of the male connector element 9 abuts against the axial shoulder formed on the inner surface of the female connector element 8. As illustrated in FIG. male connector element 9 may comprise a sleeve 10 fixed in the male connector element. The sleeve 10 has a role of centering and sealing male connector elements 9 and female 8. The attachment of the sleeve 10 can be performed by welding, threading, gluing, hooping or any other similar means. Instead of the sleeve 10, non-illustrated alternative embodiments may be envisaged, such as an extension of the main tube element 6.
    [0023] The connector 5 comprises a locking ring 11 which is positioned between the male connector element 9 and the female connector element 8, the locking ring is then an inner ring, placed within the female connector element. When the male connector element 9 is fitted into a female connector element 8, a part of the ring 11 enters the female element 8 so that a series of tenons 12 located on the outer surface of the ring 11 cooperate. with a series of tenons located on the inner face of the female member 9. The locking ring 11 is mounted on the male connector element 9. As shown in Figure 6, the locking ring 11 comprises on its face outer another series of pins 16 cooperating with a series of tenons located on the inner face of the male connector element 9. Thus, the locking ring 11 is fixed to the male connector element, when riser sections are connected. In unlocked situation, the ring is secured to the male element by means of pins (not shown in Figure 6). In addition, this embodiment of the locking ring 11 allows for a completely removable connector to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the connector. This embodiment also makes it possible to produce a ring 11 and male connector elements 9 and 8 female quasi-symmetrical, which facilitates their manufacture.
    [0024] Referring to Figure 6, the ring 11 is mounted on the outer surface of the sleeve 10. It is maintained by means of the series of tenons of the ring and the male connector elements 9 and female 8. Alternatively to the bayonet assembly, the locking ring 11 is not provided with a series of pins on the side of the male connector 9; it is rotatably mounted on the male element 9, while being locked in translation, in particular in the direction of the axis of the main tube. The locking ring 11 is then held in a housing defined by shoulders. For this second embodiment of the invention, the connector 5 further comprises a locking ring 25 which is positioned on the outer (peripheral) surface of the flanges 23 and 24. The ring 25 can be machined in a tube portion . The ring 25 is provided at each of its ends with stops that cooperate respectively with the flanges 23 and 24 to lock in translation along the axis of the main tube the flanges 23 and 24. The locking ring 25 is rotatably mounted on the flange 24, while being locked in translation, in the direction of the axis of the main tube. With reference to FIG. 6, the ring 25 comprises at least one cylindrical inner surface portion of radius S and the outer peripheral surface of the flange 23 is cylindrical with a radius slightly smaller than S. The ring 25 is mounted on the flange 24 by centering the inner cylindrical surface of the ring on the outer cylindrical surface of the flange 24. In addition, the ring 25 has a flange which forms a radial recess of the cylindrical inner surface of the ring 25. The inner surface of the ring 25 has tenons. The flange 23 of the female connector element also has tenons disposed on its outer peripheral surface. When the male connector element 9 is fitted into the female connector element 8, part of the ring 25 covers the flange 23 so that the lugs of the ring 25 can cooperate with the lugs of the flange 23 of the the female connector element 8.
    [0025] The assembly by a peripheral ring 25 allows a high stiffness of the locking system, which limits the deformations (including bending) of the flanges. In addition, the double locking ensures a capacity of the connector to transmit significant efforts. In addition, this design with double bayonet connection (male connector element side and female connector element side) makes it possible to make the connector completely removable for inspection and maintenance and also allows a quasi-symmetry of the flanges, which facilitates their manufacture. .
    [0026] As illustrated in FIG. 6, the locking ring 25 further comprises a second series of tenons on its inner surface and the peripheral outer surface of the flange 24 of the male connector element 9 also comprises tenons capable of cooperating with each other. with the tenons of the locking ring 25. Figure 7 shows a peripheral locking ring. The locking ring 25 comprises a first series of tenons 27 adapted to cooperate with tenons of a flange 23 of a female connector element 8 and a second series of tenons adapted to cooperate with tenons of a flange 24 of a male connector element 9. The locking and unlocking of the connector 5 are made by rotation of the ring 25 and by rotation of the locking ring 11 (locking type bayonet).
    [0027] The ring 25 and the ring 11 are provided with operating means, for example a maneuvering bar which can be dismountable. The operating means make it possible to pivot the ring 25 around the flanges 23 and 24 along the axis of the main tube and, independently or simultaneously, to rotate the ring 11 along the axis of the main tube. To perform the simultaneous rotation of the ring and the ring, the ring 25 can be secured to the ring 11 by a rigid connection (for example by means of rods or a recessed plate avoiding any interference with the auxiliary lines when rotating the ring / ring lock assembly). Locking and unlocking means in the locked and unlocked position of the ring / ring system may be provided, for example by means of blocks, pins, pins or screws located on the flange 24 and the ring 25. longitudinal forces, that is to say the tension forces directed along the axis of the main tube, are transmitted from one section 4 to the adjacent section 4 on the one hand via the bayonet type connection between the 25 and the flanges 23 and 24 and secondly via the bayonet type connection between the ring 11 and the male connector elements 9 and female 8. The arrangement of the connector according to the invention allows to transmit almost all the forces in the main tube through the inner ring 11, while the forces in the auxiliary pipes are transmitted for a part via the inner ring 11 and the remaining part via the outer ring 25. Indeed, for this mode of embodiment, the forces go from the flange 24 of the male connector element 9 to the flange 23 of the female connector element 8 via the tenons of the ring 11 and the ring 25 without passing through the sleeve 10. The distribution of the efforts between the ring 11 and the ring 25 depends on the stiffness and efforts in the lines. The height of the ring 25 can be determined so that the distance between the lower face of the circular collar and the upper face of the studs 26, 27 is equal to the distance between the flanges 23 and 24 increased by one set at least equal to that of the inner ring 11. In addition, a space is required between the two flanges 23 and 24 to accommodate the connections 13, 14 of the auxiliary pipe tubes 7 and the game adjustment means 15. Openings may be provided in the vertically and circumferentially located portions of the ring 25 between the tenons. These openings allow, on the one hand to lighten the room, but also and especially to see the ends of the auxiliary pipe elements 7 at the time of their connection and to avoid damage that may result from a blind approach.
    [0028] According to the invention, the auxiliary pipe element 7 is integrally connected with a recess connection (without relative movement between the parts) at one end of the main pipe 6 and is connected with a sliding pivot connection with the other end of the pipe main. In the present application, a sliding pivot connection designates a bond which links a first solid to a second solid, the first solid being able to translate with respect to the second solid in the direction of an axis and the first solid that can pivot relative to the second solid. around this same axis. Thus, the auxiliary pipe element 7 can slide and pivot in its axial direction relative to the main pipe 6, the auxiliary pipe element 7 is not free of movement in the radial and tangential directions, that is to say say in the directions of a plane perpendicular to Figure 3.
    [0029] In other words, the riser section 4 comprises at each of its ends connecting means, shown diagrammatically in FIG. 6, which allow one side to axially link an auxiliary pipe element 7 to the main pipe 6 and to the other side forming the sliding pivot connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe 6. According to one embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 6, the connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is formed at the female connector element 8, and the sliding pivot connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is formed at the connector element 9. Alternatively, the recess connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is formed at the male connector element 9, and the sliding pivot connection between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the main pipe element 6 is formed at the female connector element 8.
    [0030] Only the first variant is described in the remainder of the description, the second variant being deduced by symmetry. At the end of the section provided with the female connector element 8, the main tube 6 is extended by a shoulder or flange 23 having a cylindrical passage in which the auxiliary pipe element 7 can slide. The auxiliary pipe element 7 comprises a stop, for example a nut or a shoulder for axially positioning the element 7 with respect to the flange 23. When mounting the auxiliary pipe element 7 on the main pipe 6, a The abutment of the element 7 bears on the flange 23, for example against the axial shoulder formed in the cylindrical passage so as to form a recess connection without relative movement between the parts. At the end of the section provided with the male connector element 9, the main tube 6 is extended by a shoulder or flange 24 having a cylindrical passage in which the auxiliary pipe element 7 can slide and pivot. The auxiliary pipe element 7 comprises a clearance adjusting means 15 (or adjustable stop) for limiting the relative movement between the auxiliary pipe element 7 and the flange 24. The clearance adjusting means 15 form a stop arranged at an adjustable distance J of the flange 24. Thus, during assembly a set J is set by the clearance adjusting means 15. Then when the riser is energized, the relative movement or the deformation of the element auxiliary pipe 7 or the main pipe element 6 is limited by a distance J, beyond a certain tension, the clearance becomes zero and the auxiliary pipe element 7 abuts in the flange 24. According to FIG. the invention, the game adjustment means 15 is made by a nut or by a threaded element. The clearance J is adjusted (before connection of the sections) as a function of the forces and pressures applied on the main tube elements 6 and the auxiliary tube elements 7. The presence of play has a benefit on the sizing of the ends of the peripheral lines and on the sizing of the thicknesses of the auxiliary lines. According to the variant embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6 (corresponding to the embodiment of FIG. 8), the elements 7 of auxiliary lines are connected end-to-end by means of connectors. A connector is composed of a male end 14 located at one end of the element 7 and a female end 13 located at the other end of the element 7. A male end 14 cooperates sealingly with the endpiece female 13 of another element 7. For example, the male end 14 of the connector is a tubular portion which fits into another tubular portion 13. The inner surface of the female end 13 is fitted to the outer surface of the the male end 14. Seals are mounted in grooves machined on the inner surface of the female end 13 to seal the connection. The connection allows axial movement of one of the elements 7 relative to each other, while maintaining the sealed connection between the two elements. The male end 14 and female 13 are fixed for example by welding or crimping to a central tube having substantially the same length as the main pipe element 6 which is attached to the auxiliary pipe element 7. For this embodiment of the invention, the invention, the game adjustment means is formed by a nut 15 positioned on the male end 14 on a threaded portion not intended to be inserted into a female connector 13. Alternatively, the connections of the driving elements of the auxiliary lines are identical to those of Figures 9 and 10.
    [0031] Application Example In order to present the distribution of forces and the mass gain in a riser according to the invention, an example of application according to the invention is presented. For this example (as per Figure 3), the conditions are as follows: - Water Depth: 12,500 ft (3810 m) - Maximum Density of Sludge: 14.5 ppg (1.74) - Auxiliary Line Service Pressure: 15,000 psi (1034 bar) - Connector maximum working load: 4,000 kips (1814 t) - Length of riser sections: 75 ft (22.86 m) - Tapered riser architecture: 7 sections of varying thickness for the tube main. Table 1 shows the distribution of forces in the main tube, in the auxiliary tubes: "kilt line", "choke line", "booster line", "hydraulic line" according to the J-in-inch game.
    [0032] Table 1 - Distribution of forces in the riser Game J (inches) 0 0.25 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 Main tube 45% 50% 55% 67% 82% 97% 100 (3/0 Kill line 20% 18% 16% 12% 7% 1% 0% Choke line 20% 18% 16% 12% 7% 1% 0% Booster line 7% 6% 6% 4% 1% 0% 0 (3/0 Hydraulic line 4% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% 0% We notice that the distribution varies in the direction of a greater contribution of the main tube when the game increases Between a zero game and a game of an inch (25.4 mm) the distribution of the forces between the main tube and the peripheral lines passes respectively from 45% - 55% to 67% - 33 `Vo. Beyond 2 inches (50.8 mm), it is considered that There is no longer a distribution of forces between the different lines, only the main pipe contributes to the recovery of efforts, which is undesirable.Figure 11 represents the mass M in tonnes of the riser in function. J for this example, for this curve, the thicknesses of the tube Incipal and auxiliary lines have been optimized to meet the conditions mentioned above. It is found that the mass is minimal between 0 and 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a mass optimum is obtained for a 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) clearance. Beyond 1.25 inches (31.75 mm) the riser mass increases sharply, resulting in an increase in the riser cost. In view of the distribution of the forces and the variation of the mass according to the game, the game can be adjusted between 0 and 1.25 inches (0 and 31.75 mm) for this example according to the invention. Preferably, the clearance can be adjusted between 0.1 and 1 inch (2.54 mm and 25.4 mm). Optimally, the clearance can be adjusted to 0.5 inch (12.7 mm).
