Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of a floating production storage and offloading device, in particular to a top cover heating type floating production storage and offloading device. Background Art
[0002] In order to cope with the challenges of deepwater oil and gas reservoir development, deepwater development mostly adopts the development model of floating production platforms. FPSO (short for Floating Production Storage & Offloading, usually literally translated as floating production storage and offloading device) is currently the most common carrier and method for deepwater oil and gas development, usually including two forms: ship type and cylinder type. FPSO is a comprehensive large-scale offshore oil production base that separates oil and gas from the extracted oil, treats oily wastewater, generates power, provides heat, stores and transports crude oil products, and integrates personnel accommodation and production command systems. FPSO usually forms a complete oil production, crude oil processing, oil storage and oil unloading system with an oil drilling platform or a submarine oil production system. Its operating principle is: receiving crude oil extracted from submarine oil wells through submarine oil pipelines, processing it on board, then storing it in cargo tanks, and finally transporting it to shuttle tankers through an unloading system.
[0003] The existing floating production storage and offloading device has the following shortcomings: first, coils are used in the cargo oil tank to heat and insulate the cargo oil. This structure not only has high manufacturing costs, but also high subsequent maintenance costs. In particular, the cargo oil pump is also arranged in the cargo oil tank. Each maintenance requires entering the cargo oil tank. In addition, since the working environment in the cargo oil tank is not friendly to the maintenance personnel, the cargo oil tank must be inerted, cleaned, and cleaned with inert gas before maintenance. The workload is large, the time is long, and the maintenance is extremely inconvenient; second, when filling or unloading the cargo oil tank, the entire cylindrical float will tilt; third, the ballast adjustment of the ballast tank adopts a water pumping method, which has low work efficiency and consumes energy when reducing the tank and pumping water.
