摘要： A bore well in a seabed (27) may be established and/or operated by a drilling barge (10). The barge may be pulled onto a larger vessel (11) and transported to a drilling site. Alternatively, the larger vessel is divided longitudinally into a pair of sub-vessels, which are then re-united at the drilling site, where the barge is pulled into position on the larger vessel. The combined drilling vessel (10, 11) may thereafter be anchored in the desired position relative to the bore well by submerging the larger vessel to rest on the seabed. The barge may be arranged on top of the larger vessel by submerging one end of the larger vessel, towing the barge into a desired position relative to the larger vessel, and raising the submerged end of the larger vessel so as to bring the deck of the larger vessel into contact with the bottom of the barge and to lift the barge out of the water.

摘要： An apparatus and method for the installation of a deck on an offshore substructure. The invention is particularly useful with a floating substructure. Two independent pontoons each have two columns spaced apart from each other that extend upwardly from the pontoons. On each pontoon, a support beam attached to the columns spans the space between the columns. In another embodiment, there is no support beam across the space between the columns. Each pontoon is provided with ballast tanks that allow the pontoons to be selectively ballasted or de-ballasted to control pontoon depth for receiving a deck or installing a deck on an offshore substructure. The pontoons may be ballasted down during transit of the deck such that the main body portion of the pontoons is below significant wave action and the columns present a relatively small water plane area. The pontoons allow the deck to be placed directly above the offshore substructure. For a floating substructure, the pontoons are ballasted while the floating substructure is simultaneously de-ballasted to transfer the deck to the floating substructure.

摘要翻译： 一种用于在海上子结构上安装甲板的装置和方法。 本发明对于浮动子结构特别有用。 两个独立的浮筒各自具有彼此间隔开的两列，从浮体向上延伸。 在每个浮筒上，连接到柱的支撑梁横跨柱之间的空间。 在另一个实施例中，在柱之间的空间上不存在支撑梁。 每个浮筒都设有压载舱，允许浮船被选择性地压载或卸载，以控制浮桥深度用于接收甲板或在海底子结构上安装甲板。 在甲板运输过程中，浮船可能被压载，使得浮船的主体部分低于显着的波浪作用，并且柱呈现相对较小的水平面积。 浮桥允许甲板直接放置在离岸子结构的正上方。 对于浮动子结构，浮筒被压载，而浮动底座同时被压载以将甲板转移到浮动底座。

摘要： A platform topsides can be transferred from a substructure to a transporter by ballasting the transporter, locating the transporter underneath the topsides and deballasting the transporter, causing load transfer units of the transporter to lift the topsides off the substructure. Each load transfer unit comprises a compression spring which rests on a layer of particulate material located in a drum, the particulate material in turn rests on a releasable hatch-cover. The springs provide a flexible connection between the transporter and the topsides. During the deballasting of the transporter, the hatch-covers are released to suddenly let out the particulate material from the drums, thereby lowering and relieving the springs, causing a direct contact and a stiff connection between the transporter and the topsides.

摘要翻译： 平台顶层可以通过压载运输工具，将运输工具放置在顶层下方并将运输工具卸载下来，从底层转运到运输工具，从而使运输工具的载荷传递单元从底层结构上升。 每个载荷传递单元包括一个压缩弹簧，该压缩弹簧放置在位于滚筒中的颗粒材料层上，颗粒材料依次位于可释放的舱口盖上。 弹簧提供了运输机和顶层之间的柔性连接。 在运输机的卸料过程中，舱口盖被释放以突然从桶中排出颗粒物质，从而降低和释放弹簧，从而导致运输机与顶层之间的直接接触和刚性连接。

摘要： A method and apparatus that eliminates the need for a derrick barge to lift the deck into place on a floating offshore structure. A connector is used to connect the transport barge to the floating offshore structure. The connector is a type that allows only relative pitch motions between the transport barge and floating offshore structure in response to sea states acting on the barge and floating offshore structure. The connector is also a type that allows disconnection while large forces are acting on the connector. One or more skidding girders attached to the legs of the deck support the legs of the deck above the skidding surface of the transport barge. A skidding surface on the girders, and complementary skidding surface on the surface of the transport barge and floating offshore structure, allow the deck to be skidded from the barge to the floating offshore structure. Once the deck is in the proper position on the floating offshore structure, the deck legs are lowered into contact with the floating offshore structure by removing spacers provided in the girders. The girders are then detached from the legs of the deck and removed. The deck may also be transferred from the transport barge to the floating offshore structure in a manner where relative pitch between the transport barge and floating offshore structure is not allowed. This is accomplished by also using a knee brace that is attached between a submerged portion of the floating offshore structure and the transport barge.

摘要翻译： 一种方法和装置，其不需要用于将吊舱提升到漂浮的海上结构上的适当位置。 连接器用于将运输驳船连接到浮动海上结构。 连接器是一种只允许运输驳船和浮动海上结构之间的相对俯仰运动，以响应作用在驳船和浮动海上结构上的海洋状态。 连接器也是允许断开连接的类型，而大的力作用在连接器上。 连接到甲板的腿部的一个或多个打滑桁架将甲板的腿部支撑在运输驳船的打滑表面上方。 大梁上的打滑表面和运输驳船和浮动海上结构的表面上的互补的打滑表面允许甲板从驳船滑向浮动海上结构。 一旦甲板处于浮动海上结构的正确位置，甲板腿就会通过移除在桁架上设置的间隔部分与浮动海上结构接触。 然后将大梁从甲板的腿上拆下并取出。 甲板也可以以不允许运输驳船和浮式海上结构之间相对间距的方式从运输驳船转移到浮动海上结构。 这也是通过使用连接在浮动海上结构的淹没部分和运输驳船之间的膝盖支架来实现的。
