Definitions

  • the present invention relates to self-elevating oil rigs for drilling and exploitation at sea and relates more particularly to an overloading device of this type of platforms.
  • Platforms of this type generally have legs resting on the seabed and a hull mounted movable and adjustable in height along the legs.
  • the whole platform is brought into flotation to the drilling or exploitation site, and the legs are lowered until contact with the seabed, then, taking support on the legs, the hull is hoisted to the - above sea level, up to an altitude which puts it out of the reach of the highest waves.
  • the hull is therefore movable along the legs of the platform by means of lifting mechanisms housed in a support structure well known to specialists under the name of "Jack-house".
  • These lifting mechanisms comprise output pinions which cooperate with racks mounted on at least part of the length of the legs.
  • These pinions are motorized by a plurality of motors associated with reducers whose reduction ratio is very high.
  • each leg is provided at its lower part with a foot, for example of hexagonal shape, which comes to rest on the seabed.
  • the hull of the platform is provided, in addition to the operating equipment and living quarters, with capacities integrated into said hull and which can be filled with sea water at the time of fitting the legs on the seabed. We thus manage to create an overload which is transmitted to the legs via the lifting mechanisms.
  • the invention therefore aims to create a device for overheating a platform making it possible to comply with safety standards and which, while being of simple construction, avoids applying this overload directly to the lifting mechanisms of the platform.
  • a device for overloading a self-elevating oil platform comprising a shell mounted movable on legs by means of lifting mechanisms housed in a support structure and comprising a plurality of output pinions cooperating with racks mounted on at least part of the length of the legs, said shell being provided with means for applying an overload to said legs via the lifting mechanisms, characterized in that it comprises at least one additional load that can be locked momentarily and directly on each leg of the platform when said legs are laid on the seabed , said additional charge being formed by removable tanks and comprising means for automatic hooking and unlocking on the legs of the platform.
  • the subject of the invention is also a self-elevating platform for drilling at sea comprising a hull mounted movable on legs intended to bear on the seabed, characterized in that each leg is provided with an overloading device of the type defined above.
  • a self-elevating oil platform comprising a hull 1 movable mounted on vertical legs 2 and intended to bear on the seabed 3 when the platform is in the drilling or operating position.
  • Each of the vertical legs in this case has a triangular section, and it consists of three uprights 2a, connected together by a trellis 2b of metal beams.
  • the vertical legs 2 can also have a square or circular section.
  • Each leg 2 ends at its lower part with a foot 4, which in this case is hexagonal in shape.
  • the platform is also equipped, at each leg 2, with lifting mechanisms 5 for the shell 1 relative to said legs.
  • These lifting mechanisms 5 make it possible to lower the legs 2 until they come into contact with the seabed 3, then, taking support on the legs, to hoist the hull 1 above the sea, to an altitude which puts it out of range of the highest waves.
  • the uprights 2a of the legs 2 are provided with diametrically opposite racks 6 arranged on a part of the length of the legs 2 and with which are intended to cooperate output pinions 7 of the lifting mechanisms 5.
  • racks 6 arranged on a part of the length of the legs 2 and with which are intended to cooperate output pinions 7 of the lifting mechanisms 5.
  • the lifting mechanisms 5 are housed in a support structure 9 integral with the shell 1.
  • the hull 1 is provided, in addition to the usual operating equipment and living quarters, with capacities 10 (FIG. 1) integrated in the said hull and which can be filled with seawater by appropriate means, not shown, when the legs 2 are placed on the seabed 3. This creates an overload which is transmitted legs 2 by lifting mechanisms 5.
  • capacities 10 FIG. 1
  • This overload is to obtain a stable anchoring of the feet 4, in particular on sites where said legs feet tend to sink due to the instability of certain layers of the basement.
  • the platform is provided, in addition to the integrated capacities 10, with additional loads that can be locked momentarily and directly on each leg 2 of the platform at the time of placing said legs on the seabed 3.
  • the additional loads are constituted by at least one removable tank 11 and supported by each carrying structure 9 of the lifting mechanisms 5 of each leg 2.
  • each tank 11 is divided into several independent enclosures 11a, 11b and 11c and lockable together by suitable means, not shown.
  • each tank 11 can be installed directly by the side of the corresponding leg 2 which avoids having to introduce it through the top of said leg.
  • Each enclosure 11a, 11b and 11c is each provided with filling means 12 constituted for example by a supply valve and draining means 13 constituted for example by a discharge valve.
  • the filling means 12 are connected by an extendable pipe 14 to a pump, not shown, for example supplying seawater.
  • the speakers 11a, 11b and 11c are based on each support structure 9 by means of studs 15 of elastic material.
  • each enclosure 11a, 11b and 11c is provided with means 16 (FIG. 3) for automatic attachment to the legs 2 of the platform and in particular to the racks 6.
  • the means 16 are also automatically unlockable, for example when the force exerted on the pads 15 by the support structure 9 and detected by at least one sensor integrated into one of said pads, exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • hooking means 16 are formed for example by counter-racks associated with locking and unlocking members again by ratchet wheels.
  • the reservoirs 11 may be constituted by rigid enclosures or by enclosures made of flexible material placed for example in cradle-shaped frames.
  • the reservoirs 11 can be monobloc and in this case comprise a part forming a door allowing mounting directly from the side of the legs.
  • the platform is brought into floatation as far as the drilling or exploitation site (Fig. 4a) and the legs 2 are lowered until contact with the seabed 3.
  • the hull 1 By resting on the legs 2, the hull 1 is hoisted by means of the lifting mechanisms 5 cooperating with the racks 6, up to an altitude which puts it out of reach of the highest waves at the time of installation (Fig. 4b).
  • the hull 1 is lowered to the previous level which puts it out of reach of the highest waves at the time of installation, the tanks 11 being locked on the legs 2 at a higher altitude (Fig. 4d).
  • the capacities 10 integrated into the hull 1 are filled with seawater by appropriate means.
  • the tanks 11 are also filled with sea water by means of the filling means 12 and the pipes 14.
  • the filling of these tanks 11 results in the application of an overload additional on each leg 2 thus allowing the foot 4 to anchor more deeply and more stably in the seabed 3.
  • the tanks 11 are emptied by the draining means 13, as well as the integrated capacities 10, and the shell 1 is again raised by means of the lifting mechanisms 5 so that the tanks 11 rest again on the supporting structure 9, after unlocking of said tanks 11 relative to the legs 2 (Fig. 4e).
  • the hull 1 is then raised to its position which puts it out of the reach of the highest waves that can occur during operation on the site. (Fig. 4f).
  • the reservoirs forming the additional charge consist of flexible pockets 20 of elongated shape, disposed directly inside the trellis 2b of each leg.
  • Each pocket 20 has at its upper part means 21 for automatic clamping on the metal beams of the trellis 2b of the legs 2.
  • Each pocket 20 can be placed in each leg 2 (Fig. 6).
  • Each pocket 20 is also provided with means for filling, not shown, with sea water.
  • pockets 20 can be superimposed one above the other and linked together by suspension members 22 (Fig. 7).
  • the superimposed pockets 20 communicate with each other to successively fill each pocket 20.
  • This arrangement therefore also makes it possible to apply, when the legs 2 are laid on the seabed 3, an additional overload on each of these legs.
  • the device according to the invention while being simple in construction and easy to apply, therefore allows the desired overload to be applied to the legs of the platform in order to be able to comply with safety and security standards. '' avoid doing pass this overload through the lifting mechanisms of the platform.
  • this overload is easily adjustable according to security standards.
