A support device for an offshore drilling platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a supporting device for an offshore drilling platform. The supporting device comprises a seabed foundation, a column, an anti-toppling mechanism and a data detection mechanism,wherein the column is fixedly inserted into the seabed foundation, the anti-toppling mechanism is arranged at the bottom end of the column and is connected to the column and the seabed foundation, and the data detection mechanism is mounted on the side face of the bottom of the column. The supporting device disclosed by the invention can monitor the seabed condition and the corrosion condition ofthe column and send the result to a platform base by way of underwater acoustic communication, and has the effect of improving the stability of the offshore drilling platform on the premise of savingsteel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of offshore oil, and in particular relates to a supporting device for an offshore drilling platform. Background technique [0002] Seabed oil is one of the mineral resources buried in sedimentary rocks and bedrocks below the bottom of the ocean. The exploitation of seabed oil (including natural gas) began at the beginning of the 20th century, but only a small number of seabed oil fields were discovered for a long period of time. It was not until the late 1960s that the exploration and exploitation of offshore oil developed by leaps and bounds. At present, more than 100 countries and regions in the world are conducting oil and gas exploration offshore, and more than 40 countries and regions are exploiting more than 150 offshore oil and gas fields. The offshore drilling platform is an offshore structure mainly used for drilling wells. Due to the large impact force of the undercurrent of the seabed and complex...

Problems solved by technology

At present, more than 100 countries and regions in the world are conducting oil and gas exploration offshore, and more than 40 countries and regions are exploiting more than 150 offshore oil and gas fields. The offshore drilling platform is an offshore structure mainly used for drilling wells. Due to the large impact force of the undercurrent of the seabed and complex environmental factors, the offshore drilling platform often needs to use a large amount of stainless steel in order to improve stability. The cost is high, and due to the strong corrosion of seawater, the columns of offshore drilling platforms will inevitably be corroded, requiring divers to often go underwater to check, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the situation on the seabed is difficult to monitor, which is likely to bring safety hazards
