The invention discloses a double-layer 
underwater production supporting floating 
barrel and installation and recycling methods thereof. The floating 
barrel comprises an outer floating 
barrel body and an inner floating barrel body, wherein the inner floating barrel body is nested in the outer floating barrel body. The outer floating barrel body is used for providing tension force of 
mooring cables, the inner floating barrel body is used for providing top tension force required by a rigid vertical 
pipe, accordingly, the double-layer floating barrel can conveniently and separately provide the top tension force required by the rigid vertical 
pipe and the 
mooring cables, and by applying the double-layer floating barrel in an ultra-deep ocean oil-gas project development 
system, the requirement for practical project application can be met. The perpendicular movement and stress of the rigid vertical 
pipe and the outer floating barrel body are decoupled, so that the stress and movement amplitude of the rigid vertical pipe are reduced, and the strength and fatigue performance of the rigid vertical pipe can be improved advantageously. The outer floating barrel body is moored on a 
seabed through the four 
mooring cables, when any one of the cables breaks off and fails, the other three cables can still maintain stability of the outer floating barrel body, and safety of the oil-gas development 
system is ensured.
