Abstract:
The present invention relates to a longitudinal vessel for production and/or storage of hydrocarbons. The vessel comprises a hull which extends along a longitudinal axis between a bow and a stern of the vessel. The hull is provided with a longitudinal well for a multiple riser arrangement. The longitudinal well is located on or adjacent to a centerline along the longitudinal axis of the hull and extends vertically through the hull.
Abstract:
It is disclosed a disconnectable buoy, a spread mooring system, a floating installation, a computer program, and methods for connecting the floating installation to a seabed and for disconnecting the floating installation for production and/or storage of hydrocarbons using the spread mooring system. The spread mooring system comprises a disconnectable buoy, a first seabed mooring line assembly connected to the disconnectable buoy and the seabed, a second seabed mooring line assembly connected to the disconnectable buoy and the seabed and a third seabed mooring line assembly connectable to the floating installation and the seabed.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a turret assembly (1) for mooring a production vessel (100) to a seabed (105) and for transferring fluids from a subsea flowline to the vessel. The turret assembly comprises a geostationary inner turret unit (5) displaying at least one throughgoing channel (14) extending axially along a longitudinal axis of the inner turret unit, a turret supporting structure (6) rotationally surrounding the inner turret unit and a bearing arrangement situated between the inner turret unit and the turret supporting structure allowing the inner turret unit to rotate relative to the turret supporting structure and to transfer forces from the inner turret unit to the turret supporting structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a spread moored vessel for production and/or storing of hydrocarbons. The vessel comprises a laterally extending main deck, a symmetrical mooring arrangement for mooring the vessel to a seabed when the vessel is floating in a body of water and a longitudinal hull. The longitudinal hull further comprises a bow, a midbody, a stern, and a motion suppressing element protruding out from the longitudinal hull, below the vessel's maximum draught. The ratio between a maximum length (L w1 ) and a maximum breadth (B w1 ) of the longitudinal hull, at the vessel's maximum draught, is between 1.1 and 1.5. The specific hull shape with the particular length/breadth ratio and the motion suppressing element allows for favorable and uniform motions regarding of wave direction in relation to vessel heading.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for assembling one or more floating support structure at an assembly site using a plurality of floating sections produced at a production site distal from the assembly site. The floating support structures are suitable for supporting a windmill system comprising a windmill tower, a windmill nacelle and windmill blades. The floating support structure is particularly suitable for transport as modules on heavy-lift vessels over large distances and assembly of these modules in sea.
