Abstract RU 2438915 C2

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to sea oil extraction platforms. Proposed SPAR platform 200 comprises hull 2202 with central hast 204. Air- and watertight partition 210 runs across central shaft to make variable-buoyancy compartment 220 in central shaft. In compliance with some versions, central shaft bottom is exposed in sea, while in compliance with other versions, central shaft bottom is sealed. At least one pipe 224 to house riser 227 runs through partition and said variable-buoyancy compartment. Said pipe has exposed top face to allows drainage of water accumulated in central shaft to make air- and watertight seal in joint with bulkhead. In some versions, two or more air- and watertight partitions 206, 208, 210 are arranged across central shaft to form one or more air- and watertight ballast tanks 216, 218 arranged fixed between every adjacent pair of bulkheads.

EFFECT: increased platform buoyancy due to its adjustment by central shaft.
