1500837 Offshore structure SEA TANK CO SA and OCEANIC CONTRACTORS Inc 12 Feb 1976 [14 Feb 1975] 05560/76 Heading E1H An offshore structure comprises a base 1 having a hollow portion 5 and at least one upwardly projecting hollow column 2 extends to support a work platform above water level. The base includes a pipe 12 in the hollow portion and a tunnel 11 extending from the hollow portion to the outside through which a pipeline 10 may be passed for connection to pipe 12. Re-usable seals 19, Fig. 4 (not shown), in the tunnel enable the hollow portion of the base to be drained of water and the tunnel is of such dimensions that after the seals have been released the pipeline has free movement in the tunnel.

专利说明:

The platform consists of a base 1, two columns 2 facing the surface. The base 1 is knocked out at the bottom 3 by the bottom 4, each of the columns 2 lies on one of the. the inner chambers 5 of the base 1, to which they are connected, while their upper part comes out of the water 6 sufficiently. The sides 7 of the peripheral chambers 8 are subjected to the external pressure of the water, bent as much as the roofs 9 in the shape of a truncated cone.
Subsea pipeline 10 passes through a tunnel 11 located in the bottom 4 for connection to a vertical system of pipes 12 connected to a platform.
Gunnel 11 consists of a metal pipe 13, the inner diameter of which exceeds the diameter of the pipeline 10, and has longitudinal metal guides 14 along its entire length, which protect the inflated shells 15 between them when conducting the pipeline 10, after installing which in the pipe 13 inflated shells 15, it is possible to center the conduit 10 therein.
From the inside of the base 1, the tunnel 11 expands, passing into the cylindrical section 16, which goes into the chamber 5.
The guide cylindrical profile 17 (tube) is inserted into the cylindrical section 16 and centered with expanding conical ends 18, which are tightly connected to the section 16.
Inflatable sealing ring elements 19 are located in the guide cylindrical profile 17 and are separated from each other by metal rings 20. Each ring element 19 has asymmetrical protrusions 21 and 22 that can be moved by inflation through tube 23, respectively, into metal compartments 24 and 25, and deformed smiling and thereby ensuring tightness between the pipe 10 and the guide cylindrical profile 17.
At the end of the base 1, at the entrance to the tunnel 11, there is a converging inclined cavity 26 with a unit, designed to facilitate control of the pipeline 10 at the moment when it is drawn to the tunnel 11, at the entrance of which it passes through another guide cylindrical profile 27 located in the metal pipe 13, the tunnel 11 directly in front of the longitudinal metal guides 14. The profile 27 is centered in the pipe 13 with its expanding ends, the rigidity of which is provided by the radial reinforcement details 28.
The tunnel 11 is recessed into the bottom 4 when this platform bottom is cast and provided at the ends 29 and 30 with removable covers to ensure its closure during assembly, towing and up to its immersion
in the final position. The process of connecting the pipeline 10 with the pipe system 12 is reduced to performing the steps of opening the tunnel, passing the pipe through it, sealing the tunnel and draining the water present in the isolated areas, welding at atmospheric conditions, at the end of which the specified section re-immersed in water.
To open the tunnel, both column 2 and chamber 5 are filled with water 6 when the platform is immersed in the final position to ensure a pressure balance on both
side of the tunnel 11, which allows opening and dismounting of two waterproof covers of the tunnel I. Complicated before the heavy platform is in place in a vertical position, the inclined plane then leans towards the bottom 3.
For pulling the conduit 10 into the column 2 and the chamber 5, the cable 31 is lowered, secured to the block 32, conducted through the tunnel 11 and fixed to the end of the conduit 10.
The cable 31 is connected to a winch (not shown) located on the platform. Moving the cable 31 and the pipeline 10
in direction B and C is carried out by a winch.
When conduit 10 is led to tunnel 11, dragging is stopped. To achieve tightness first
the queue centering the pipeline 10 in the tunnel 11 by inflating the shells 15, then through the nozzle 33 and the tubes 23 the water or oil is introduced into the inflatable sealing ring elements 19, which
compressing the pipe 10 until complete tightness is achieved between the latter and the tube 17 of the tunnel 11. Then, the outer and inner parts of the chamber 5 become isolated from each other and it is possible to draw out the water contained in the column 2 and in the chamber 5.
For welding, the welder descends through column 2 into chamber 5 and can connect the end of conduit 10,
leaving the tunnel 11 and also empty, with a system of vertical pipes 12 through a bent connecting pipe 34. As soon as the connection is completed, the pipe 10 becomes ready for transportation as raw oil, which it comes from wells, and oil, which has undergone primary processing on the platform as well as high pressure gas.
In any case, in order to avoid the stresses of the pipeline 10 caused by the waves transmitted by the base 1 and the movement of the fluid carried by the pipeline 10, the chamber 5
and column 2 is refilled with water
by calculating that the water level outside and inside is the same, after which both the inflatable sealing ring elements 19 and the shells 15 are lowered to release the pipeline 10 in the tunnel 11.
