Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of offshore oil and gas development, in particular to a deep-water floating oil and gas platform using an underwater flexible storage device. Background technique
[0002] There are two ways to carry out follow-up processing after crude oil is produced in offshore oil fields: 1) export it with submarine pipelines; 2) store it in an oil storage device and regularly transport it out with a shuttle tanker, which can be a fixed part of the production platform , can also be a single structure. If the production of an offshore oil field is not large enough, the cost of laying expensive submarine oil pipelines will outweigh the benefits. In this case, the only way to exploit it is to use some kind of low-cost but safe and reliable oil storage device.
[0003] Exactly where the oil storage unit is placed matters a lot. There are only three optional positions: 1) above the waterline and fixed in the upper layer of the platfo...
