Hollow cylindrical floating production oil storage and discharge device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ocean oil gas development, and particularly relates to a hollow cylindrical floating production oil storage and discharge device.
Background
Currently, an FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) is one of the main equipment for offshore oil and gas field development, wherein the cylindrical FPSO is in a central axis symmetrical structure as a whole, is insensitive to environmental directivity due to isotropy of hydrodynamic characteristics, and an extended mooring system can be adopted, so that a single point mooring system is avoided. Compared with ship-shaped FPSOs, the cylindrical FPSOs are compact in structure, the sagging and the midspan effects are not obvious, and the floating bodies with symmetrical shapes and the simple structure are more suitable for modularized design and construction. Cylindrical FPSOs typically employ heave cabins with large bottom diameters to add motion add mass and damping to improve hull motion performance.
However, like a ship-shaped FPSO, a cylindrical FPSO also has a larger water plane area, the inherent period of motion is still insufficient to avoid the wave energy period range under typhoon sea conditions, the motion performance is not as good as semi-submersible under large sea conditions, and the suspension requirement of a Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) cannot be met.
Therefore, there is a need to design a hollow cylindrical floating production storage and offloading device that solves the above-mentioned problems.
