Description

Mooring station for a ship.

Background of the invention

The present invention generally relates to offshore oil and gas exploration and production systems and, in a specific non-limiting embodiment, to a system and to a method to capture, lift and couple a plurality of ships using a centralized floating mooring station, so that the relative cover sizes are effectively expanded and to that equipment packages and other facilities are exchanged between the decks of ships captured in a stable manner and effective.

Background of the invention

Countless systems and methods have been used in an effort to find and recover hydrocarbon reserves all over the world. At first, those efforts were limited to ground operations that included simple drilling methods but effective which successfully recovered reserves of large and productive fields. However, as the number of known productive fields decreased, it became necessary to seek by increasingly remote sites and moving away to the high seas in Looking for new resources. Eventually drilling systems sophisticated and advanced signal processing techniques they allowed energy companies to search virtually for everything The world recoverable hydrocarbons.

Initially, exploration efforts and Deepwater production consisted of operations of expensive and large-scale drilling supported by transport and storage in tankers, mainly due to made most drilling sites high sea are related to difficult maritime conditions and risky and therefore large-scale operations they provided the most stable and economical way to search and recover hydrocarbon reserves. A main drawback of the large-scale paradigm, however, is that explorers and producers have little financial incentive to work reserves smaller because the potential financial recovery is generally offset by the long delay between exploration and production (approximately 3 to 10 years) and for the large investment of capital needed for conventional platforms and the drilling, production and related transportation equipment. In addition, complex regulatory controls and risk aversion to industry level has resulted in a standardization leaving operators few opportunities to significantly modify The predominant paradigm. As a result, the operations of offshore drilling have traditionally been hampered for large delays between investment and profit, for expenses additional excessive, and by slow recovery strategies and inflexible by the operating environment.

More recently, they have found deep water sites where you can avoid a much of the danger and instability present usually in those operations. For example, off the coast from West Africa, Indonesia and Brazil, have been identified potential drilling sites where the conditions of adjacent seas and weather conditions are relatively soft and quiet compared to others most unpredictable sites like the Gulf of Mexico and the Sea from North. These recently discovered sites tend to have favorable production characteristics, yield indices of positive exploration success and admit for production use simple extraction and transport techniques similar to those they apply in operations on land or in nearby operations To the coast.

However, as the distributions Logarithmic recoverable reserves tend to extend to a large  number of small fields, each of which yields less than which would normally be required to justify the expenses of a conventional large-scale operation, most of those regions today they are under-exploited and under-produced in comparison With its potential. Consequently, many have already been detected Smaller productive fields with potential that remain without Underdevelopment due to economic considerations.

Currently, most deepwater exploration and production operations are facilitated by a large and expensive floating production and storage vessel (FPSO) that is used to organize and essentially store all facilities and packages of equipment that is probably needed on board a single ship, using fewer vessels only as a support with objectives such as the transport of the crew to and from the coast, the supply of new or replacement equipment packages, etc.

As seen in Figure 1 of the technique above, for example, an FPSO 100 system similar to which are now used in the field, in which the FPSO comprises a large deck surface (for example, more than about 20,000 square feet - about 1858 square meters -) able to accommodate Useful operating structures such as a landing platform for helicopters 101; accommodation for officers, crew and control center 102; a water treatment facility 103; one or more fluid injection pumps 104; one or more oil, gas, sand or water separators 105; an installation of gas treatment injection 106; a power generator 107; Y the gas ejection tower 108.

The FPSO has the deck space to load additional equipment packages from other vessels when it is necessary and serves as a central position for the entire operation of exploration and production In a regular application, the FPSO will keeps in position during operations thanks to a system of mooring using a plurality of mooring ropes (not illustrated) that are tied to other ships, mooring buoys, etc. In modes of alternative embodiments, the FPSO is tied to a turret with which essentially circulates around a fixed point; and in another embodiment, the FPSO is dynamically positioned with what it is allowed to move in response to the actions of the waves and at swell while still in position with respect to support vessels and drilling sites in the area adjacent.

A modem FPSO that is used for the maintenance of submarine production wells 110 and / or injection wells 111 typically has a keel length of between 900 and 1500 feet (274.32 and 457.20 meters), with a section Storage 109 with a storage capacity of between 500,000 barrels and about four million barrels arranged below the ship's deck surface. However, for vessels having a storage volume essentially equal to zero but in which other facilities and equipment packages necessary for injection operations and production are present, the vessel is called floating production unit (English " floating production unit " , FPU).

Although they are relatively effective in environments of deep water, experts in the field will estimate that FPSO systems also have several major drawbacks. By For example, a modem FPSO can take up to eight or ten years from its commissioning until its completion before it can be used at sea and the total expenses related to the construction of the ship can be more than a billion dollars.

Also, as an FPSO it is so large and so expensive to build, only very large field operations (for example, that produce about 50,000 barrels per day or more) will justify economically the investment of an operator in a similar vessel. Therefore, explorers know many more fields small (for example, fields that have the ability to yield only about 10,000 barrels per day) that contain reserves, but the producers do not work them because the production expense using a FPSO would be greater than the benefit that could be obtained from reserves Recoverable

Previous efforts to provide systems Mooring simpler and cheaper for ships include the patent No. 853,328 of Wiking, which describes a floating dock type pontoon that captures and lifts one or more ships to serve as a extension of a relevant dry dock. The Wiking system is insufficient, however, because it is useful "only for boats small ", lacks the floating ability to capture and lift ships of any size and significant weight (which is, of course, a critical aspect of any modem system of exploration and production), and it fails completely at the time of consider coupling multiple deck surfaces to form a larger unified cover from which it can carry out exploration and production operations. Other Similar dike system is known from WO 2005/016741.

Similarly, US Patent 6,336,419 of Breivik describes a barge that has one or more stations of mooring formed at both ends where ships can be moored captives, but fails to estimate the advantages of lifting and coupling two or more vessels so that their respective deck surfaces are combine into a larger unit area from which can carry out exploration and production operations with Maximum effectiveness and safety.

There is, therefore, a need for a system and a method of exploration and production of wells in high sea so that the functions of two or more ships can be combine to work wells without interruption and where a number limited of such ships can simultaneously work a number of sites located close to each other.

There is also a need for a system and a method by which a floating and centralized mooring station  facilitate access to a number of associated roof surfaces flexibly able to meet the changing needs of operators during exploration and production for delay between the operator's investment and the profit is minimized.

There is also a need to facilitate a substitute for floating production vessels and receiving existing deposit that allows the safe and reliable transfer of equipment packages (for example, drilling packages, test packages, production packages, packages reconditioning, etc.) between and between surfaces of associated deck, and for safe ship connections in order that the associated roof surfaces can be connected and / or disconnect easily and safely during operations.

There is also a need to facilitate a surface ship arrangement in which a plurality of associated roof surfaces are complementary depending on, in order to avoid unnecessary delays and conditions of unwanted security throughout the scan and the production.

Finally, there is a need for systems to capture, lift and dock ships that allow ships of exploration, production older, cheaper and more widely available to participate in offshore operations serving as a platform from which they embark, store and transport equipment packages and hydrocarbon reserves extracted efficiently and well organized.

Detailed description

The present invention is directed to a system of mooring on the high seas where they are captured, raised and docked a number of multifunctional tall ships in a berth central "floating" using one or more flotation chambers adjustable. For the purposes of this application, a station Floating mooring is defined as a mooring station capable of rise from a level below sea level to capture and couple one or more vessels, to obtain a deck space and of larger storage, and a combination of facilities and more flexible equipment packages.

Flotation chambers are usually placed under the hulls of the floating mooring station or the ships captured inside the berth (or both), with which flotation chambers are capable of transmitting a force of significant lifting towards the base of the helmets; but nevertheless, In some embodiments, flotation chambers Adjustable are placed inside the hull of the same station mooring, with external flotation chambers added to the system according to the need.

Once the captured vessels have been lifted and secured inside the central mooring station, it then couple their cover surfaces to each other so that equipment packages, technical facilities etc. can be quickly transfer between ships in a safe way and controlled, thus reducing the risk of accidents and collisions as well as establishing a large combined deck area from which operations can be performed. Consequently, they are reduced the temporal horizons of projects and a system of Flexible and cost-effective modularized exploration and production.

In the specific embodiment no limiting of the invention illustrated in Figure 2, for example, a mooring station for tall ships according to the invention Contains a rib-shaped support helmet or other station of central mooring 200; one or more adjustable flotation chambers 201 that are caught or connected to the base of the mooring station 200 by adjustment control means 202; and one or more stations for capture 203 ships used to capture incoming ships before lift them up and couple them together.

In practice, the adjustable flotation chamber 201 and the devices for capturing ship 203 rise from under the hull of a ship and apply a lifting force significant, raising, supporting and trapping in this way the ship together between the arms of the mooring station 200, so that a surface can be established in a safe and reliable way of mutual cover between the newly captured vessel and other vessels previously captured.

In the illustrated embodiment, the depth to which the adjustable flotation chamber 201 is placed  below the surface of the waves is controlled by a means of adjustable control 202, although in other embodiments it is place the adjustable flotation chamber 201 in direct communication with support helmet 200. In other embodiments additional, one (or both) of the adjustable flotation chambers 201 and of the adjustment control means 202 are retained from the system, and the support helmet 200 is equipped instead of one or more flotation chambers (as an indoor charging system), so that the depth of the mooring station is controlled so much by filling and emptying the flotation chambers located in the support hull 200 with a fluid such as seawater, pneumatic pressure supplied from an outside source, etc.

During this process, the mooring station central can be dynamically positioned with respect to the ships and the surrounding beacons (not illustrated), fixed to a turret so that the station turns around a mooring or simply tied to suction anchors 204 or something similar using one or more mooring groups 205.

As shown in the embodiment copy illustrated in Figure 3, parts of the mooring station central 300 contain a divider 301 placed between the stations of capture, so that captured vessels cannot collide or transmit wave forces to other ships captured at the station of mooring 300. In other embodiments, outer parts of the divider 301 and interior parts 302 of the stations of catch are equipped with 303 boat stops or something similar to that captured vessels can be raised and caught against stops 303, for example, tying the ship against the stops using ropes or chains, or turning in one arm of the station on a pivoting element 305.

In another embodiment, the ships captured and held in place against the stops of boat 303 via an adjustable flotation chamber 304. In cases in which the captured vessels have sizes significantly different, an adjustable flotation chamber 304 can be used placed in the capture station to lift the covers of ships to a similar elevation, so that you can establish between them a mutual cover surface and so that can be transferred from one ship to the other equipment packages and Similar.

As shown in the embodiments copies illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, however, can be capture ships of similar sizes and dimensions 401, 402 and 501, 502 respectively, and can be controlled in such a way that place nearby deck surfaces in a plane relatively smooth and level without needing a flotation chamber secondary to lift any of the boats. In such modes of realization, parts 400, 500 of the mooring station will follow containing primary flotation chambers used to raise the station from under the ships and start the capture process, and to lower the station back to the sea so that the boats captured can be maneuvered and moved away to make room for others ships recently acquired.

Returning now to the detailed embodiment non-limiting illustrated in Figure 6, a station of floating mooring 600 according to the invention illustrating how they can be capture, lift and couple two or more ships at the station to create a navigable multifunctional unit boat to drive a exploration and production operation.

A major advantage of the system is that it can effectively increase the cover surface area total of a smaller vessel 601 adding the surface area of deck of a second adjoining 602 vessel that has been captured, lifted and coupled to the first vessel 601. For example, if the first captured vessel 601 has a useful deck space of approximately 150 feet (45.72 meters) long and approximately 50 feet (15.24 meters) wide, then the total useful space available on that ship is approximately 7,500 square feet (696.78 square meters). Also, if the second vessel captured 602 has a useful deck space of approximately 200 feet (60.96 meters) long and 70 feet (21.34 meters) wide, then the total useful space available is approximately 14,000 feet square (1,300.64 square meters). However, lifting and coupling the two ships together you get a useful space of Total available cover of approximately 21,500 square feet (1,997.42 square meters) [7,500 (696.78) plus 14,000 (1,300.64)].

In this particular exemplary embodiment, the first vessel captured 601 is equipped with one or more 603 power generators; a water treatment facility 604; a 605 water injection package with injection lines corresponding water 617; and a crew and unit accommodation of control 606. However, those familiar with the subject will notice that, on the first vessel, virtually any number of other packages, production and storage units, equipment for lifting and drilling pipes, etc.

While such a vessel would be useful to support an existing exploration and production project lacks many of the structures and technical packages necessary to Start and complete an ongoing operation. For example, the first captured boat 601 lacks an oil and gas separator, of compression and gas injection units, of a unit of oil treatment, and many other facilities and packages which can usually be found in storage ships and floating reception that may be useful during operations. According to the invention, therefore, a second is captured ship 602, it is climbed to a deck height essentially equal to that of the first vessel and then coupled to the first vessel or to the mooring station so that workers can safely and reliably enjoy the advantages of both ships simultaneously, even when the two docked ships and the Mooring station act as a unique and unitary set.

In the illustrated embodiment, by For example, the second captured vessel 602 also contains a 607 helicopter platform; a 608 gas compressor with corresponding gas injection lines 616; separators of oil, gas and / or water 609; a gas treatment unit 618; an oil treatment unit 610; a tower of expulsion gas 611; and a plurality of oil production lines 615. In one embodiment, the ballasting ship is controlled towards the sea at least a part of the mooring station and then letting the ship float on the mooring station 600 so that can be captured and raised to the deck's first height ship. Alternatively, at least one part is weighted towards the sea from mooring station 600, it moves below the hull of the vessel that is tried to capture, and then climbs so that the vessel is keep now safely trapped inside the station and the facilities and packages placed above may be used by operators along with the facilities and packages placed in the First vessel captured 601.

In this particular embodiment, as facilitate all technical installations and packages of equipment needed to execute project operations typical of exploration and production, it might not be necessary to bring no other vessel with additional equipment to finish the operation. However, if it turns out that they are in fact needed Additional installations or packages, one (or both) can be released  of the ships captured at that time by the station and you can capture a third ship, a fourth ship and so on and use it to Get the advantages of your technical configurations.

In this embodiment, the station releases a vessel captured using a protocol that is essentially at Upside down that capture process. For example, if for some reason you you want to release the second boat captured 602 from the station, it ballast down at least part of the station below the ship for until the ship is free of friction forces that keep the boat between the central stabilizer 613 and the 614 side tie ribs; then the ship is removed from the station by its own impulse, it is towed out of the station using a support vessel or just keep it in your place using or a tying system or positioning techniques dynamic while the station is pulled out from under the ship.

In the exemplary embodiment of Figure 7, a 700 barge type storage tank is equipped with a ribbed hull station that contains a central stabilizer 701 and a plurality of stabilizers lateral 702 which defines a first mooring port for a ship 703 and a second mooring port for a ship 704 such as is described above with respect to other modes of various realization. In this embodiment, however, also facilitates a large fluid storage facility 705 in which approximately 500,000 barrels can be stored of fluid during production, and then can be discharged into a oil tanker when its storage capacity has been reached or when it is convenient for operators for another reason. All the mooring station or, alternatively, a part of the station mooring, you can dive below sea level 705 in any time, as long as the station is maintained stable enough to carry out the survey and the coupling of captured ships.

As mentioned, it may sometimes be desirable replace or remove equipment packages placed in one or more ships captured at the station. Therefore, Figure 8 illustrates another embodiment of a mooring station for a ship according to the invention where the enhanced capabilities are emphasized of loading and unloading of the system.

As in previous embodiments, it is facilitates a floating mooring station on the high seas 800 in which a plurality of ships 801, 802 are captured, containing two or more mooring stations formed by a plurality of surfaces interiors of mooring stations 807, 808 and a plurality of rotating side stabilizers 805, 806. The buoyancy of floating station 800 is controlled by a camera external flotation or by one or several internal ballast chambers used to improve or delay flotation characteristics from the berth, depending on whether water or other fluid is pumped inside or empty of ballast chambers. The connoisseurs of the matter you will notice that these ballast chambers satisfy the definition of the term "adjustable flotation chamber" inside from the context of the claimed design.

In such embodiments, the functionality of secondary flotation chambers 809, 810 can be replaced by a more conventional mechanical lifting system (not illustrated) without departing from the scope of the invention. Other methods that currently contemplate to level decks of captured ships include maintaining the height of one of the cover surfaces in a static position while raising the surface of deck of a second ship, and / or maintain one of the surfaces of cover at a static height and then lower the surface of Deck of the other ship. Because many ships already include systems of ballast that allow the rise and fall of a surface of deck raising or lowering the profile of the entire ship, it is also possible to use this functionality and avoid the need for a system of secondary survey contained within the station mooring in order to level the deck surfaces of ships captured.

In this particular embodiment, the dike Floating 800 is also equipped with a connecting element of the mooring station 811, comprising one or more support elements vertical 812, a conveyor belt assembly and roller 813 and, in the illustrated embodiment, a coil for winding and unwind cable or chain, etc., in response to the system winch 814, 817 that feeds its line by rig 816 to that the load or equipment package 815 can be transferred down from the deck of the captured 802 boat to the surface of the conveyor belt and roller assembly 813. The cargo or equipment package can be moved later more near deck surface 818 of captured vessel 801, or move to another location aboard deck surface 818 of the 801 captured ship so operators can start use equipment package 815 while allowing the boat Captured 802 Exit the mooring station.

In a detailed example of this mode of realization, the captured ship 802 has on board a package of test that is useful along with a stored scan package on ship 801. Attaching the raised deck surface of the 802 boat with the deck surface lowered from the station tie 800 the test packet is transferred to the surface of deck of the amare station using a raised system of winch and rigging, an elevator or a small or similar crane. Following the process, then ship 802 is removed from the station mooring and a third ship is captured and raised in place additional equipment can be transferred on board the deck from mooring station 800.

As seen in the embodiment example of Figure 9, an intermediate cover surface plus large 907 placed on top of all (or part) of the hull of the Mooring station 900 will result in the creation of a surface large and stable platform that has a larger total area even that the combined cover surfaces 908, 909 of the captured ships 901, 902 of which can be made additional operations In some embodiments, a part of the 900 floating berth is large enough to serve as a submerged fluid reservoir container totally or partially below sea level until a transfer of stored fluids as desired or necessary (by example, in the case where the deposit container has been filling of fluid stored during the course of operations).

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in Figure 10, the multipurpose helmet of the embodiments above is replaced by a 1000 floating frame within which You can capture an individual boat. Then floating frames additional 1001, 1002, each of which houses other ships captured 1003, 1004, connect to the first floating frame 1000 using a known connection means 1006 (for example, stops of ships, connecting rods, etc.) so that the resulting structure be coupled in a single modularized assembly.

In some embodiments, the structure whole is supported by an external adjustable flotation chamber (not illustrated); in other embodiments, however, the structure is not supported by a separate flotation chamber it depends on your own ballast and weight systems to climb and lower the frames below the hulls of ships that want before capturing them.

In other additional embodiments (see, for example, Figure 11) after the surfaces of Deck of captured ships 1103, 1104 have risen to a desired height, a mutual cover surface 111 is fitted or other similar structure above the upper surfaces of each ship. In this way, the two ships 1103, 1104 are coupled to be able to carry out the necessary operations while the system continues to operate safely at sea as a single unit structure. For example, once the boats 1103, 1104 have been coupled together, operators can use all of the various equipment packages (for example, packages of drilling, test packages, production packages, packages overhaul, etc.) originally stored in the individual ships as if the packages had been present originally in a single FPSO.

By practicing the invention, it can be used a number of older and less expensive ships to double the effectiveness of a FSPO modem boat, fully equipped and very much more expensive than, in practice, is often unavailable if it warn with little time, or is impossible due to considerations Financial A major advantage of the invention in this regard is that ships of any size, age and hull design can be capture and couple to the mooring station while it mooring station advanced by the sea, acting essentially as an integrated unit housing within which several are reviewed boats. How captured ships collectively contain all the equipment and design packages necessary to meet the very different needs of an exploration vessel and production, the piece assembly of the technical packages is obtained necessary for any particular operation without the need to a large and expensive exploration and production vessel containing all of the equipment that could ever be useful in a operation, regardless of whether, in fact, it is necessary in the application that is carried out at that time.

In summary, the invention described herein provides a unique system and method by which a central mooring station can capture, lift and attach a plurality of tall ships in order to obtain a system of Flexible and cost-effective modularized production. The capabilities of a number of older and less expensive ships can be combined to obtain an effective FPSO substitute to explore and produce less productive fields profitably. The time horizons between start and end of operations of fields shrink, and older ships that could have been scrapped or removed are again useful and navigable.
