Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a BOP straightening device for a semi-submersible platform, and specifically to a novel BOP straightening device. Background Art

[0002] When a semi-submersible offshore drilling platform places the BOP device, the BOP device is lowered from the main hull moonpool to the seabed. Since the semi-submersible platform sways left and right under the action of wind, waves and currents during operation, when lowering the BOP device, the BOP device will tilt due to the left and right swaying of the semi-submersible platform, resulting in an inclined lowering state. In severe cases, it may collide with the main hull during the lowering process, thus damaging the BOP or even the main hull structure. Therefore, it is necessary to design a novel BOP straightening device to ensure that the BOP drops in a vertical state when lowered and avoid collision with the main hull. Summary of the Invention
