Connection and disconnection structure of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) mooring floater and boat body

Abstract

The invention discloses a connection and disconnection structure of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) mooring floater and a boat body, which comprises the boat body and the floater, wherein the floater comprises a cone part and a pedestal; the lower bottom face of the cone part is fixed on the pedestal; a locking device used for locking the floater is arranged on the boat body; a conical through hole capable of accommodating the cone part of the floater is formed on the boat body; the locking device is positioned in the conical through hole; the cone part of the floater is formed by a base body round table; a part of the conical face at the top of the base body round table is cut into a plurality of planes, so that the top face of the cone part is of a regular polygon; and a polygon clamping device arranged at the top of the conical through hole can clamp the cone part. Through the cooperation of a polygonal structure at the top end of the floater and the polygon clamping device of the boat body, primary positioning is easy to realize, and relative rotation between the floater and the boat body is avoided. Due to a cooperation way between a bolt and an insertion hole in the locking device, quick connection and disconnection are easy to realize and the operation is simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of marine oil and gas equipment, in particular to a connection and release structure for an FPSO hull and a positioning buoy. Background technique [0002] FPSO (Floating production, storage, offloading unit) floating production storage and offloading ship has the functions of production, oil storage and oil offloading, and is one of the main modes of offshore oil development. At present, with the substantial increase in the consumption of oil and gas resources in my country, the country's demand for oil and gas resources is also increasing. Effective, economical and rapid development of my country's South China Sea resources is imminent. Due to the relatively hostile environment in the South China Sea, the traditional permanent mooring method can no longer adapt to the natural environment of the South China Sea. The new type of detachable mooring method is the development trend, from passive bearing to active prevent...

Problems solved by technology

Due to the relatively hostile environment in the South China Sea, the traditional permanent mooring method can no longer adapt to the natural environment of the South China Sea. The new type of mooring method that can be released is the development trend, from passive bearing to active prevention

The traditional detachable FPSO adopts the form of turret, RTM (Riser Turrent Mooring) and BTM (Buoycant Turrent Mooring). The disadvantages of this turret are: the scale is relatively small, the system is relatively complicated, the manufacturing cost is high, and the price is extremely expensive. Moreover, the number and form of risers are limited

The technical solution disclosed in this patent application has made a useful exploration on the connection and release structure between the hull and the float. However, in the process of connecting the float to the hull, how to realize the positioning of the float and the hull and avoid Relative rotation, in order to facilitate the locking operation, still needs to be further improved
