Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hoisting technology, and in particular to a method for hoisting a drilling platform module as a whole. Background Technology
[0002] The total weight of the drilling platform module on the ship is 811t, and the total weight including the lifting rack is approximately 908t. Using a 900t gantry crane for this lifting is a special lifting condition, requiring that the weight lifted by the third hook be within the range of 400t to 500t. When the 900t gantry crane lifts sections exceeding 900t, the distance between the upper and lower trolleys must be maintained within the range of 12m to 20m. Since the section length is 26m, the tilting lifting clamp cannot be used as the lifting clamp alone. Furthermore, the windbreak wall installed on the drilling platform interferes with the lifting operation, increasing the design complexity of the lifting clamp.
[0003] In addition, since the drilling platform legs are hoisted in two parts, with the upper part connected to the bottom of the drilling platform and the lower part welded to the main deck, and the drilling platform legs are 6.4m high, it is difficult to monitor the mounting accuracy in real time during the docking and assembling process of the drilling platform legs. Summary of the Invention

[0020] If the closing deviation does not meet the preset requirements, the corresponding outrigger is surgically corrected until the closing deviation meets the preset requirements.
[0021] Preferably, L_3 is 6 meters to 10 meters.
[0022] Preferably, the internal components of the segments within the preset lifting point range of the first hook, the second hook, and the third hook are reinforced by double-sided welding, and the reserved / delayed welding area must be fully welded.

[0052] This invention has at least the following features and advantages:
[0053] 1. This invention solves the problem of lifting bracket design for a 900t gantry crane carrying a 908t drilling platform.
[0054] 2. The present invention uses a simulated mounting and installation guide plate 9 to improve the mounting and positioning efficiency of the drilling platform.
[0055] In some embodiments, the location of the force-bearing point of the first hook and the location of the force-bearing point of the second hook are determined according to the following formula:
[0056] G_12×L_12=G_3×L_3;
[0057] Wherein, G_12 represents the force on the first and second hooks, L_12 represents the distance between the first and second hooks and the center of gravity of the drill platform module, G_3 represents the force on the third hook, and L_3 represents the distance between the third hook and the center of gravity of the drill platform module.

[0062] In some embodiments, the segmented internal components within the preset range of the lifting points of the first hook, second hook, and third hook are reinforced with double-sided welding, and the reserved / delayed welding area must be fully welded. Further, the preset range is an area no more than 1200 mm from the lifting point. Even further, the weld leg of the double-sided reinforcement weld is no less than 10 mm.
[0063] In some embodiments, the markings include the moon pool centerline, the well center cross reference line, the drilling platform deck outline, and the derrick leg cross centerline. Further, the deviations of the moon pool centerline, the well center cross reference line from the hull centerline are all no greater than 3mm; and / or the differences in width between the moon pool centerline, the well center cross reference line, and the left and right halves of the longitudinal anti-roof reinforcement of the moon pool trolley track are all no greater than 3mm.
[0064] In some embodiments, the preset height of the angle steel is 300 mm to 500 mm.
[0065] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to the attached drawings. Figures 1 to 6 :
[0066] This invention designs the lifting weights for the third hook based on the center of gravity and the drilling rig structure, and then calculates the stress points of the first and second hooks based on the bending moment. By rationally designing the lifting weights, the stress points of the first and second hooks are shifted towards the center of gravity, ensuring that the gantry crane hooks are subjected to forces suitable for their specific working conditions, and maintaining lifting balance as much as possible during the drilling rig hoisting process. Before hoisting, the center line of the moon pool, the cross reference line of the well center, the overall outline of the section (drilling rig deck), and the cross center line of the derrick legs are marked based on the ship's bottom baseline and hull centerline. During assembly, the center points of the well center and derrick legs are used as references to ensure hoisting accuracy. Furthermore, simulated assembly is conducted, and the deviation value determines whether surgical correction is necessary to ensure successful hoisting in one go. Finally, the drilling rig section is positioned and assembled by installing guide plates 9 at the closing opening on the outer side of the drilling rig legs 8.
[0067] The specific steps are as follows:
[0068] 1. Based on the center of gravity and the drilling rig structure, design the lifting weight for hook number three, and then calculate the stress points of hook number one and hook number two based on the bending moment. By designing hook number one to carry lifting weight 5 and hook number two to carry lifting weight 6, the stress points of hook number one and hook number two are shifted towards the center of gravity.
[0069] Since the drilling rig lifting weight exceeds 900t, the lower trolley (i.e., hook number 3) must lift no less than 400t, and the hook distance between the upper and lower trolleys must be between 12 and 20m. To meet these lifting conditions, the distance between the upper trolley (i.e., hooks number 1 and 2) and the lower trolley (i.e., hook number 3) should be shortened to reduce the overall deflection of the drilling rig. Based on the center of gravity, the lifting weight of hook number 3 should be positioned on a strong structure approximately 7.8m from the center of gravity. Considering the use of some lifting weights from hook number 1 and hook number 2 for both the main lifting rigs, hook number 1 and hook number 2 are designed to carry lifting weights 5 and 6 respectively, shifting the stress points of hooks number 1 and number 2 towards the center of gravity. The offset distance of the stress points of hooks number 1 and number 2 is derived from the moment balance of hooks number 1, 2, and 3, i.e., G_12×L_12=G_3×L_3. Where G_12 represents the force on the first and second hooks, L_12 represents the distance of the first and second hooks from the center of gravity, G_3 represents the force on the third hook, and L_3 represents the distance of the third hook from the center of gravity.
[0070] 2. The internal components of the segment within a 1200mm radius around the lifting bracket shall be reinforced by double-sided welding. The reserved / delayed welding area shall be fully welded, and the weld leg shall be no less than 10mm.
[0071] 3. Based on the ship's bottom baseline and hull centerline, mark the centerline of the moon pool, the cross reference line of the well center, the overall outline of the section (drilling platform deck), and the cross center line of the derrick legs. During assembly, use the center point of the well center and the center point of the derrick legs as the reference. The deviation of the moon pool well center cross reference line from the hull centerline should be ≤3mm, and the difference in width between the left and right halves of the longitudinal anti-top reinforcement of the moon pool trolley track should be ≤3mm.
[0072] 4. Temporarily weld 300mm to 500mm high angle steel at the four corners of the drilling rig's front and back sides, and mark the horizontal height with a punch mark to serve as the horizontal height reference for subsequent equipment installation.
[0073] 5. Simulated mounting: Using the four outriggers of the drilling rig as the reference for simulated mounting, multi-point measurements are taken using a total station to compare and correct the closing deviation of the four outriggers. The deviation value determines whether surgical correction is necessary, ensuring that the deviation is within the allowable range and does not affect the alignment accuracy of the drilling platform and the main hull's moon pool center.
[0074] 6. The drilling platform section is positioned and mounted by installing guide plates 9 at the closing opening on the outer side of the drilling platform legs 8.
[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The guide plate 9 has an inclined guide opening, which is positioned near the drilling rig to guide the upper part of the outrigger from the guide opening to the lower part of the outrigger. In some more specific embodiments, two guide plates 9 are installed at the closing opening on the outer side of the drilling rig outrigger 8, and each guide plate 9 is positioned facing outward of the drilling rig. That is, the two guide plates 9 on the outer side of the drilling rig outrigger 8 located near the stern on the starboard side are respectively positioned near the starboard side and the stern. Please refer to [link to details]. Figure 4 The two guide plates 9 on the outer surface of the drill rig leg 8, located on the port side near the stern, are respectively positioned near the port side and the stern. Please refer to [link to details]. Figure 5 .
[0076] 7. During hoisting, it is necessary to have professional personnel in charge to direct the operation and to position and install the drilling platform according to the crosshair reference line of the well center.
[0077] This invention employs a parallel lifting weight design to shift the force point of the hook towards the center of gravity, ensuring that the lifting weight of the third hook is within the range of 400t to 500t under special working conditions. It also uses a method of simulating loading and installing guide plate 9 to solve the problem of drilling platform loading accuracy.
[0078] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
