Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless auxiliary system for monitoring and control of an underwater installation. The auxiliary system of the present invention sends data and control signals between an underwater installation - for example, a lower stack (26) in a hydrocarbon drilling or production facility - and an associated riser assembly (23). Data is collected by sensor network (208A, 208B) and is transmitted from a first transceiver (201) to a second transceiver (203) by electromagnetic signals. First transceiver (201) is powered by a local power supply (205). To conserve power consumption, the first transceiver is designed to become active for a short time and then to switch to an inactive mode. For example, wireless data transfer may occur after the detachment or just prior to the reattachment of riser assembly (23) to the underwater installation. Wireless data transfer may also occur on receipt of a handshaking signal from second transceiver (203). Thus, the system of the present invention is capable of providing soft shut-down mode for the underwater installation on detachment of riser assembly (23) and can also safeguard potential risks of reattaching riser (23) when the underwater installation in an unknown state.
Abstract translation: 本发明提供一种用于监测和控制水下装置的无线辅助系统。 本发明的辅助系统在水下装置（例如，烃钻井或生产设备中的下层堆垛26）和相关的提升管组件（23）之间发送数据和控制信号。 数据由传感器网络（208A，208B）收集，并且通过电磁信号从第一收发器（201）发送到第二收发器（203）。 第一收发器（201）由本地电源（205）供电。 为了节省功耗，第一个收发器被设计为在短时间内变为活动状态，然后切换到非活动模式。 例如，无线数据传送可以在拆卸之后或恰好在提升器组件（23）重新连接到水下安装之前发生。 无线数据传输也可能在从第二收发器（203）接收到握手信号时发生。 因此，本发明的系统能够在提升器组件（23）的拆卸时提供用于水下安装的软关闭模式，并且还可以在未知状态的水下安装时保护重新安装提升管（23）的潜在风险。
