摘要:
The invention relates to a method for draining a fluid-transporting underwater pipe (2) which is submerged and filled with water, comprising pumping of at least a portion of the water present inside the submerged pipe by a submersible pumping unit (6) connected at a point on the pipe, the volume of pumped water inside the pipe being compensated by a gas injected under pressure into the submerged pipe at a point (18) on the pipe located higher than the connection point (12; 14) to the submersible pumping unit. The invention also relates to a facility for implementing such a method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a modular plant for liquid/gas separation of a multiphase fluid such as crude oil comprising a plurality of individual separation devices consisting of a chamber (1) cooperating at the base thereof with a coaxial connection part (6) connected or intended to be connected to a support structure (10) resting on the seabed (20) capable of receiving a plurality of said individual separation devices (1) in a reversible manner so as to be able to ensure disconnections thereof at will, in particular for increasing the separation capacities of the plant and/or carrying out the maintenance of the individual separation device at the surface.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a floating support (1) for oil production comprising a reel (2) traversed by a plurality of first flexible pipes (4, 4a-4c) linked (7) to an upper platform (2c) characterised in that said reel comprises at least one guide and deflection conduit (5) capable of containing and guiding a so-called first flexible pipe (4), passing through the inside of said cylindrical internal structure (2a) of the reel in a non-vertical manner between: a) said bottom wall (2b) at a first location (C1) in said bottom wall where said guide conduit is secured, and b) an internal platform (6) above said bottom wall, the top end (5c) of said guide conduit (5) being secured (6b) to said internal platform (6) at a second location (C2) where the top end (4-3) of said flexible pipe (4) contained in said guide conduit is secured or is capable of being secured, said second location not being vertically aligned with said first location.

The present invention relates to a seafloor-surface linking apparatus between a single floating support (2) and the seafloor, comprising a plurality of flexible lines comprising flexible hoses (1) stretching from said floating support to the seafloor, said flexible lines being supported by a plurality of tubes (3, 3a-3b), each tube defining two portions of hose comprising a first portion of flexible line (1-1) embodied as a double catenary curve descending from the floating support (2) to said tube and a second portion of flexible line (1-2) embodied as a simple catenary curve between said tube and the point of contact (l-2a, l-2b) of the flexible hose on the seafloor. The apparatus comprises at least one support structure (4) comprising a lower element forming a base (4-1) resting and/or anchored or driven into the seafloor and an upper element (4-2, 4-2a - 4-2b) supporting at least two tubes, lower (3b) and upper (3a), arranged at differing heights (Ha, Hb) such that the low point (1-1b) of the first portion (1-1) of flexible line passing through the lower tube (1b) is located below the low point (1-la) of the first portion (1-1) of flexible line passing through the upper tube (3a).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a modular device for the liquid/liquid gravity separation of the aqueous phases (11-1) and oil phase (10-1) of crude oil at the seabed (30), including a plurality of separation modules (1a) connected to a common collecting device (1b). Each separation module (1a) includes a fluid flow line (6) connected to at least one gravity separation pipe (7) by a tubular device (8) having an elbow. The common collecting device (1b) includes a first tank (3) to which crude oil is supplied by a supply pipe resting on the seabed (5) via a first inlet (3-1) thereof, a plurality of first outlets (3a) supplying crude oil to said flow lines (6). Two aqueous and oil phases are separated within separation pipes (7) before being discharged into a second tank (4) via second inlets (4a) of said second tank to which the separation pipes (7) are connected. The oil phase (10-1) is conveyed to the surface from the second tank (4) via a first discharge pipe (10). The aqueous phase (11-1) is conveyed to the seabed.
