Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Installation einer schwimmfähigen Offshore-Anordnung nach Anspruch 1 und auf eine Offshore-Anordnung nach Patentanspruch 2.The invention relates to a method for installing a buoyant offshore arrangement according to claim 1 and to an offshore arrangement according to claim 2.
Aus
Derartige Offshore-Anordnungen dienen zum Beispiel zum Erschließen von Öl- oder Gasvorkommen unter dem Meeresboden. Ferner dienen sie zum Herunterbringen einer Leitung zum Fördern von Öl oder Gas aus dem Meeresboden. Zum Schutz derartiger Maßnahmen, d.h. von Bohrgestänge und Bohrrohren und dergleichen sind Führungsrohre vorgesehen, die von oberhalb des Meeresspiegels bis zum Meeresboden errichtet werden. Um derartige Führungs- und Schutzrohre in geeigneter Weise zu führen und auch zu halten, ist bekannt, an der Offshore-Anordnung seitlich entsprechende Führungsmittel anzubringen.Such offshore arrangements serve, for example, to open up oil or gas deposits under the seabed. Further, they serve to bring down a pipe for conveying oil or gas from the Seabed. To protect such measures, ie drill pipe and drill pipes and the like guide tubes are provided, which are built from above the sea level to the seabed. In order to guide and also to hold such guide and protective tubes in a suitable manner, it is known to attach laterally corresponding guide means to the offshore arrangement.
Aus
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Offshore-Anordnung und ein Verfahren zur Installation einer schwimmfähigen Offshore-Anordnung vorzusehen, wobei auch die Führungsmittel während der Installation auf einfache Weise in Stellung gebracht werden können.The invention has for its object to provide an offshore arrangement and a method for installing a buoyant offshore arrangement, wherein the guide means during installation can be brought into position in a simple manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der Patentansprüche 1 und 2 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claims 1 and 2.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird während des Transports der Offshore-Anordnung und eines ersten Absenkhubs der Stützkonstruktion die Abstützung unterer und oberer Führungsmittel für die Führungs- und Schutzrohre bzw. Steigrohre von der Stützkonstruktion vorgenommen. Die Stützkonstruktion ist üblicherweise ein Gitterwerk, an dem auch die vertikalen Stützen angebracht sind. Während des Absenkvorgangs der Stützkonstruktion wird die Abstützung der oberen Führungsmittel, welche von den unteren Führungsmitteln getrennt ausgeführt sind, von der Plattform übernommen. Während die unteren Führungsmittel mit der Stützkonstruktion in Richtung Meeresboden abgesenkt werden, werden die oberen Führungsmittel von der Plattform gehalten, sobald diese den Bereich der Plattform erreichen. Die oberen Führungsmittel bleiben an der Plattform weiter abgestützt, wenn diese über dem Meeresspiegel angehoben wird. Die Fundamentierung der Stützkonstruktion auf dem Meeresgrund kann in bekannter Weise erfolgen, z. B. mittels eines Betonfundaments oder Saugtöpfen oder dergleichen.In the method according to the invention, during the transport of the offshore arrangement and a first lowering stroke of the supporting structure, the support of lower and upper guide means for the guide and protective tubes or riser pipes is made by the supporting structure. The support structure is usually a latticework on which the vertical supports are mounted. During the lowering of the support structure, the support of the upper guide means, which are carried out separately from the lower guide means, taken from the platform. While the lower guide means are lowered with the support structure towards the seabed, the upper guide means are held by the platform as soon as they reach the area of the platform. The upper guide means remain supported on the platform when they are is raised above the sea level. The foundation of the support structure on the seabed can be done in a known manner, for. B. by means of a concrete foundation or suction cups or the like.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Offshore-Anordnung sind die unteren Führungsmittel mit der Stützkonstruktion fest verbunden. Die oberen Führungsmittel stützen sich trennbar an der Stützkonstruktion ab und können sich gegenüber der Stützkonstruktion nach oben entfernen, wenn die Stützkonstruktion gegenüber der Plattform in Richtung Meeresboden abgesenkt wird. Die Plattform weist Haltemittel auf, welche die oberen Führungsmittel abstützen, wenn die Stützkonstruktion gegenüber der Plattform um eine vorgegebene Strecke abgesenkt worden ist.In the offshore arrangement according to the invention, the lower guide means are firmly connected to the support structure. The upper guide means are separably supported on the support structure and may extend upwardly from the support structure as the support structure is lowered towards the platform towards the seabed. The platform has holding means which support the upper guide means when the support structure has been lowered from the platform by a predetermined distance.
Für das Einbringen der Führungs- und Schutzrohre sowie Steigrohre über die Führungsmittel sind mehr oder weniger obligatorisch, Führungsmittel auch im Bereich der Plattform vorzusehen. Bei der Erfindung müssen jedoch diese Führungsmittel nicht von vornherein mit der Plattform verbunden werden, vielmehr sind diese vor der endgültigen Installation der Anordnung zunächst mehr oder weniger lose auf der Stützkonstruktion abgestützt. Es versteht sich, dass die oberen Führungsmittel zur Seite hin begrenzt sind und nicht fort schwimmen können. Sie sind jedoch in der Lage, gegenüber der Stützkonstruktion ohne weiteres angehoben zu werden. Beim Absenken der Stützkonstruktion erfolgt eine Mitnahme an der Plattform. Auf diese Weise sind die oberen Führungsmittel mehr oder weniger automatisch mit der Plattform verbunden, wenn die Offshore-Anordnung installiert wird. Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Plattform seitlich Aufnahmeschlitze oder -kanäle aufweisen, in welche Gleitstücke der oberen Führungsmittel eingreifen, bis sie gegen einen Anschlag anstoßen. In dieser Position können die Führungsmittel mit Hilfe von geeigneten Befestigungsmitteln an der Plattform festgelegt werden. Es sind auch andere konstruktive Mittel denkbar, während des Absenkvorgangs die oberen Führungsmittel von der Plattform "aufzufangen" und die oberen Führungsmittel an der Plattform zu fixieren, z.B. durch eine Haken- und Flanschverbindung.For the introduction of the guide and protective tubes and risers on the guide means are more or less obligatory to provide guiding means in the area of the platform. In the invention, however, these guide means must not be connected to the platform from the outset, but they are initially supported more or less loosely on the support structure before the final installation of the arrangement. It is understood that the upper guide means are limited to the side and can not swim away. However, they are able to be raised relative to the support structure without further notice. When lowering the support structure is carried on the platform. In this way, the upper guide means are more or less automatically connected to the platform when the offshore assembly is installed. According to one embodiment of the invention, the platform can laterally receiving slots or channels have, in which sliders of the upper guide means engage until they abut against a stop. In this position, the guide means can be fixed by means of suitable fastening means on the platform. Other constructive means are also conceivable for "catching" the upper guide means from the platform during the lowering operation and fixing the upper guide means to the platform, eg by means of a hook and flange connection.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die oberen Führungsmittel vorzugsweise in einem Gestell angeordnet. Das Gestell kann wiederum ein Gitterwerk sein, in dem die Führungsmittel als Führungsringe oder dergleichen angebracht sind.According to one embodiment of the invention, the upper guide means are preferably arranged in a frame. The frame may in turn be a latticework in which the guide means are mounted as guide rings or the like.
Die Stützen des Gestells können sich nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung seitlich gegen die zugeordnete Seitenfläche der Plattform anlegen, um eine ausreichende seitliche Stabilisierung an der Plattform zu erhalten.The supports of the frame can invest according to a further embodiment of the invention laterally against the associated side surface of the platform in order to obtain a sufficient lateral stabilization on the platform.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist auf der Plattform mindestens ein Schienenpaar für ein Schienenfahrzeug angebracht und die Führungsmittel weisen mindestens ein Paar Schienenabschnitte auf, die mit den Schienen auf der Plattform ausgerichtet sind, wenn die oberen Führungsmittel mit der Plattform verbunden sind. Das Schienenfahrzeug dient z.B. zum Transport von Rohren, die mit Hilfe des Schienenfahrzeugs zu den Führungsmitteln ausgerichtet werden, bevor die Rohre abgesenkt werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, at least one rail pair for a rail vehicle is mounted on the platform and the guide means comprise at least a pair of rail sections aligned with the rails on the platform when the upper guide means are connected to the platform. The rail vehicle is used, for example, for the transport of pipes, which are aligned with the aid of the rail vehicle to the guide means before the tubes are lowered.
