Abstract

An arrangement of an umbilical of data communication lines and/or electrical energy transmission lines is mounted on a lazy wave catenary riser. The umbilical has a first section extending from an upper hang off location of the riser continuously downward to a first installation point at the riser and a second section extending from a second installation point at the riser continuously downward to the sea bed at a riser touch down location. The first installation point is positioned in an installation region of the riser between a lowest sag bend point and a highest hog bend point of the lazy wave catenary riser extension. The first 1 section is tensioned to a flatter catenary shape than a catenary shape of the riser between the upper hang off location and the first installation point, so that a portion of the first section extends detached from the riser.

Abstract

An end fitting assembly for a pipe-in-pipe assembly comprises a socket portion, a connector portion extending from the socket portion, a stop located between the socket portion and the connector portion, a collar that fits around the socket portion and attaches to the stop, and a wedge that fits between the collar and an inner composite pipe. When the collar is pushed onto the wedge, a series of collar cone sections engage a series of wedge cone sections causing a compression force on the inner composite pipe. The collar and the wedge are shaped so that they fit within an outer pipe of the pipe-in-pipe assembly. The compact shape of the collar and wedge facilitate reeling the pipe-in-pipe assembly onto a reel without causing excessive stress in the pipe-in-pipe assembly.

Abstract

A method approximates and connects an off shore riser duct to a floating unit, includes installing a tubular coupling recipient on the floating unit at a riser coupling level, the coupling recipient having an annular side wall extending around a longitudinal axis. A pulling device is on the floating unit at a pulling device level above the riser coupling level. The pulling device pulls a line extended through the coupling recipient and connected to a pulling head at a riser duct upper end. The riser duct upper end is pulled into the coupling recipient, providing a locking mechanism to lock a coupling adapter against downward withdrawal. Extending the line along a curved deviating surface deviates the pulling direction. The curved deviating surface is formed by a deviating member connected to the coupling recipient at a distance from the longitudinal axis smaller than an annular side wall to longitudinal axis distance.
