Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil platforms, and more specifically, to an expandable oil boom for offshore oil platforms. Background Technology
[0002] An oil platform, also known as a drilling platform, is a large offshore structure used for drilling to extract oil and natural gas, and for temporary storage until the oil is transported to an onshore refinery for cracking and processing. In many cases, the platform includes extraction facilities and living quarters for the workforce. Depending on the circumstances, the platform may be anchored to the seabed, possibly as an artificial island, or float on the sea. Multiple subsea oil wells can also be connected to a single oil platform via pipelines.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN216640515U discloses "a hook-type quick-connect fireproof oil boom, comprising an oil boom body, floats, a counterweight chain, and a quick-connect assembly. The floats are spaced apart at the upper end of the oil boom body, the counterweight chain is located at the lower end of the oil boom body, and the quick-connect assembly is located on one side of the oil boom body for quickly connecting two adjacent oil boom bodies. This fireproof oil boom replaces the existing plug-in connection method with a hook-type quick-connect assembly, making the connection of the oil boom more convenient and faster, greatly improving the speed and efficiency of oil spill emergency response. It is suitable for fire prevention needs in rivers, lakes, nearshore areas, harbors, and oceans, and is particularly suitable for fire-sensitive areas such as oil ports, oil terminals, and oil drilling platforms. It can also be used to tow spilled oil to a suitable location for combustion treatment." However, it still has the following drawbacks:
[0004] (1) At present, the oil booms used on oil platforms have low splicing and installation properties, making them inconvenient to install and use quickly, and lacking the convenience of quick replacement.
[0005] (2) At present, the oil booms used on oil platforms have low overall expandability and are not easy to extend and adjust, thus reducing their overall practicality.
[0006] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing an expandable oil boom for offshore oil platforms. Utility Model Content
