    摘要: Disclosed are systems and methods for limiting structural damage to an affected offshore platform and preventing damage spread from the affected offshore platform to another platform during an accident or an emergency condition. The offshore system includes a mobile offshore production unit (40), a mobile storage platform (30) and a mobile offloading platform (10) which are disposed at a clearance distance from one another. The platforms are fluidly connected by pipes (32, 12) to allow hydrocarbon fluid transfer therebetween. The pipes are adapted to cease fluid communication of hydrocarbon fluid between platforms for preventing damage spread therebetween. Also disclosed is an offloading system (200) for hydrocarbon fluid transfer which includes a lifting system (400) having an extendable lifting arm (410) and a spreader frame platform (210) rotatably coupled to the lifting arm. The spreader frame platform is operable to support a transfer skid (200) and allow angular adjustment of the transfer skid in a horizontal plane.

    摘要: The invention relates to a fluid transfer system, in particular for LNG in which an articulated vertical and horizontal mooring arm are suspended from a support on the processing vessel. Independently moveable ducts, for instance cryogenic hard piping are placed parallel to the mooring arms such that a transfer system is obtained in which is the mooring forces are insulated from the fluid transfer line with which rapid connection and disconnection is possible and which provides a large yaw resistance. In a preferred embodiment, the mooring system comprises two vertical arms connected to a triangular horizontal yoke attached to the bow of the LNG-carrier for improved yaw resistance.

    摘要: The invention relates to a hydrocarbon transfer system comprising a first structure (8) carrying an articulated arm (4,5,61,62). The system has at a free end (64) a first connector part (13,43,65), and a vessel (7) comprising a second connector part (47,48,70), wherein each connector part comprises a housing (72,73) with at least two fluid ducts (66,67,68,69) within said housing. The ducts can be placed into sealing engagement along respective sealing faces (94,95), and a locking member (74,75,78,79,101) for locking the housings (72,73) of the connector parts together, wherein the fluid ducts (68,69) in either the first or second connector are connected to a respective fluid swivel (91,92,93) or flexible duct section to allow at least partial rotation of the ducts along their longitudinal axis, and are connected to a drive means (90) for jointly rotating the ducts along a centreline of the connector parts for alignment of the ducts in the first and second connector parts, the fluid ducts in the first or second connector part comprising a section (98) which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction, by a displacement member (97) for varying the axial position of the sealing faces (94,95) of the movable duct section relative to the housing.

    摘要: In certain offshore locations, for example off the West Coast of Africa, FPSO facilities provide an offloading facility to receive and load produced crude oil onto shuttle tankers. In such arrangements FPSO facilities use spread moored tankers with flowlines suspended in the water column to an offloading buoy or buoys which are located 1,000 to 1,500 meters away from the FPSO. Typically steel pipe flowlines as used with intermediate floatation to provide a suitable configuration that will avoid detrimental loads being imposed resulting from relative motions of the FPSO and the offloading buoy. According to the invention, a Suspended Pipe Line End Manifold (SPLEM) (20) is connected to the end of the flowline assembly for support during towout. The SPLEM (20) is positioned near the buoy (10) and then connected at the sea surface to the bottom of the buoy by flexible leads (14) such as anchor chains. The SPLEM (20) is then flooded by selectively flooding compartments to cause it to sink to an operational position below the buoy. Next, additional submarine hoses (22) or flexible pipe are connected to complete the flowline to the buoy.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to use a compact configuration to economically vaporize a liquefied gas by effectively utilizing boil-off gas in a liquefied-gas tank, without having to take in any sea water. A liquefied-gas vaporization system (1) is provided with: a liquefied-gas vaporization unit (2) in which a liquefied gas stored in a liquefied-gas tank is subjected to heat exchange with a heat medium, and vaporized; a boil-off-gas combustion unit (3) which induces combustion of a boil-off gas of the liquefied gas; a turbine (4) which is rotationally driven by the energy of a combustion gas obtained after combustion has been performed in the boil-off-gas combustion unit (3); and a combustion-gas supply unit (8) which supplies, as the heat medium, to the liquefied-gas vaporization unit (2), the combustion gas discharged from the turbine (4). The boil-off-gas combustion unit (3) is a pressurized combustion unit which has compressed air supplied thereto, and in which the boil-off gas is subjected to pressurized combustion. A compressor (5), which generates the compressed air and supplies the compressed air to the boil-off-gas combustion unit (3) as air for pressurized combustion, is provided on the same axis as that of the turbine (4).
