Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of jumper buoyancy block installation, and in particular relates to an installation device and an installation method for a rigid jumper buoyancy block of an underwater production system. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of deepwater oil and gas field exploitation technology, the underwater production system development model has been widely used. As an important part of the underwater production system, the rigid jumper pipe is mainly used to connect the underwater Christmas tree, underwater manifold, pipeline terminal, riser base and oil pipeline and other system units to form a connection between the underwater production system.
[0003] According to different shapes, rigid jumper pipes can be divided into M-type, inverted U-type, horizontal Z-type, etc., and their underwater connection is mostly in a suspended state on the seabed after installation. For some long, heavy, and complex-shaped rigid jumper pipes, considering the influence of structural deadweight, fluid load, deflection, ocean current, temperature and other factors, in addition to installing VIV spiral strakes on the jumper pipe to reduce vortex-induced vibration, permanent buoyancy blocks are often installed on the jumper pipe to maintain the position and posture of the jumper pipe underwater, reduce the dynamic load fatigue damage of the ocean current to the jumper pipe, reduce the stress concentration at the connection point between the jumper pipe and the system unit, avoid deformation, fracture and damage of the jumper pipe, thereby ensuring that the forces of various parts of the suspended rigid jumper pipe are balanced, which helps to maintain the stability of the entire underwater production system.
[0004] The buoyancy block component clamped and installed on the rigid jumper is cylindrical in shape and is assembled from two half-tile pieces. The specifications, size, weight and static buoyancy of the buoyancy block are determined according to the project requirements. The installation of the buoyancy block needs to be completed when the rigid jumper is prefabricated on land. For some buoyancy blocks with larger size, heavier mass, larger number of installations, and limited adjustable length of the buoyancy block binding belt, the traditional extensive installation method of hoisting two half-tiles and multiple people pushing and tying is difficult to install on high-altitude rigid jumpers, which seriously affects the construction efficiency and is easy to damage the buoyancy block and the outer wall coating of the jumper.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to design an installation device and method for buoyancy blocks on rigid jumper tubes of underwater production systems to solve the above-mentioned problems that the installation of buoyancy blocks on rigid jumper tubes is difficult, seriously affecting the construction efficiency, and easily causing damage to the buoyancy blocks and the outer wall coating of the jumper tube.
