VESSEL FOR RECOVERY OF HYDROCARBONS FROM SEA FIELDS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: shipbuilding; vessels for recovery of hydrocarbons from sea fields. SUBSTANCE: proposed vessel has hull with intake cavity located forward from midship section where turret with swivel coupling device is located; vessel is also provided with living module, technological and power complexes. Technological complex is made in form of gas-and- condensate collecting system with inlet line unit; it is engageable with complex for preparation of condensate and gas for transportation; it includes equipment for separation of gas and condensate, condensate stabilization unit and gas compression unit which is made in form of superstructure mounted on upper deck. Inlet line unit, gas-and- condensate separation equipment and condensate stabilization unit are mounted in hold in area of above-mentioned superstructure. Upper deck is provided with guard fire-resisting bulkheads isolating the technological complex from hull. EFFECT: enhanced safety of recovery of hydrocarbons at gas and gas-and-condensate fields. 3 dwg
