Record 11 2011-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
  • Natural Gas and Derivatives
CONT

Subsea oil/gas fields may have a plurality of wells linked to a host facility that receives the oil/gas via flowlines. Such a field may have a subsea well field architecture that employs either single or dual flowlines designed in a looped arrangement with in-line pipe line end termination("PLET") units positioned at selective locations for well access. The linkage between wells creates a need for PLETs to be deployed within prescribed target box areas to allow for well jumper connections to the flowline.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
  • Gaz naturel et dérivés
CONT

[…] la vase, les particules ou les sédiments qui recouvrent le fond marin autour de la plaque d'appui rectangulaire sont entièrement recouverts par le tapis de protection. Ainsi malgré la distance relativement faible qui sépare l'extrémité de raccordement et le fond marin, lorsque le robot sous-marin intervient pour raccorder par exemple une conduite montante à l'extrémité de raccordement, ses moyens de propulsion perturbent essentiellement les couches d'eau situées à la surface du tapis de protection ce qui ne soulève aucune particule et n'augmente pas la turbidité de l'eau au voisinage de l'élément de structure. Bien évidemment, l'objet de la présente invention est susceptible d'être appliqué à toute type de structure sous-marine, par exemple et selon une liste non limitative, à des terminaisons à l'extrémité des pipelines (PLETs pour : pipeline end termination, en langue anglaise), à des manifolds à l'extrémité des pipelines (PLEMs pour : pipeline end modules), à des raccords en T (ILTs : pour in line tees), ou encore à des modules de distribution à l'extrémité des ombilicaux (UDUs : pour umbilical distribution unit).

OBS

Un PLET («PipeLine End Termination») est une structure sous-marine qui permet de relier un pipeline à un autre équipement, tel que : un autre pipeline, une tête de puits sous-marine, un manifold […] Ces structures sont faites en aciers et reposent sur le sol sur des matelas [en] acier appelés «mudmats».
