A device for colonizing and harvesting marine hardground animals in an underwater region of a ground-based offshore edifice includes at least one rail device configured to extend vertically on the offshore edifice along a height of the underwater region to above a waterline. The device also includes a netting array including a habitat carriage having a habitat and trapping basket that is adapted to contain the hardground animals. A lifting device is configured to move the netting array along the at least one rail device. Additionally, the device includes a scavenging carriage including a basic unit and a running unit that is configured to detachably couple the scavenging carriage with the at least one rail device so as to be movable thereon. The scavenging carriage is configured to detachably couple with the habitat carriage and the lifting device.
摘要:
A method for removing a hydrocarbon production platform at sea, the production platform being connected to a hydrocarbon well, and including a support structure and an upper part being supported by the support structure, where the method includes the steps of; temporarily closing the well, removing at least part of the upper part from the support structure, positioning a well abandonment module on the support structure, which well abandonment module is constructed and arranged to perform well abandonment operations, performing abandonment operations from the well abandonment module to abandon the well, removing the well abandonment module from the support structure after the well abandonment operations are completed.
摘要:
A jack-up offshore platform, on which is provided a lifting crane for lifting a load, which lifting crane includes structure connectable to the platform for counterbalancing the load. The counterbalancing structure may include at least one counterbalancing cable for operably connecting to the platform. A lifting crane provided with counterbalancing structure connectable to a jack-up offshore platform, and to a method of repositioning a load from a platform.

A supporting ring is clamped about a pile and a cleaning ring is supported below the clamping ring by a cable threaded through a number of pulleys, allowing the washing ring assembly to be raised or lowered along a pile. A washing ring carries a four high-pressure water jets that spray water against the pile while the washing ring oscillates through 110-120 degrees of arc, driven by a hydraulic motor through a gear ring. A stabilizing ring fits into a C-shaped channel formed by the washing ring, supporting the cable pulleys. Both the washing ring and the stabilizer ring can be broken down into two semi-circular sections, required for installation and removal in most applications, and are fastened together by a number of over-center clamps.
摘要:
A system for use in performing maintenance work on an unmanned offshore platform, comprising a sea-going support craft (22) for transporting a maintenance crew to the platform (23) for performing maintenance work on the platform, a power generator (73) on the craft, at least one operating device (1, 72) on the platform, a line (18) connected to said operating device, and connector means (21) for connecting the line to the power generator (73) such that the latter can supply power to said operating device. Preferably, the or one of the operating devices is a hoisting apparatus (1) for raising the support craft to an elevated position, enabling the crew to transfer from the craft to the platform superstructure to carry out maintenance work.
摘要:
The method and apparatus for forming an encapsulation or encasement about a structural member that is particularly well suited for use in a marine environment is disclosed. A two component polymer system for protective and repair encapsulation is pumpable in two separate streams to the location of the structural member to be encapsulated. The two reactive components are combined in a static mixer immediately prior to being injected within the surrounding translucent jacket. By combining the reactive components immediately prior to use, premature set up is avoided and the resulting grout may be directed to flow upwardly in the jacket for enhancing final properties. By suitable coloring of the components, visual monitoring of the final mixing and distribution in the translucent form or jacket of the encapsulation material may be monitored. A field test for determining bond strength of the encapsulation polymer to the structural member is also disclosed.

In order to provide an improved and cost-efficient method for performing an exchange of up-tower main components on an off-shore wind turbine a method is disclosed in during which a non-permanent service platform is temporarily coupled to a wind turbine tower lower section. In addition, a wind turbine structure and a system including such a structure are described, the wind turbine structure and the respective system being designed to allow performing the described method.
摘要:
A method of elevating the deck area of a marine platform (e.g., oil and gas well drilling or production platform) utilizes a specially configured sleeve support to support the platform legs so that they can be cut. Once cut, rams or jacks elevate the platform above the cuts. The sleeve support is then connected (e.g., welded) to the platform leg and becomes part of the structural support for the platform. In one embodiment, two sleeves are employed. In another embodiment, the jacks or rams elevate in two stages including a first stage wherein one sleeve elevates and the other sleeve does not elevate and a second stage wherein both sleeves elevate together.
