ICE-RESISTANT DRILLING FACILITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SHALLOW MARINE CONTINENTAL SHELF, AND FORMATION METHOD OF ICE-RESISTANT DRILLING FACILITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SHALLOW MARINE CONTINENTAL SHELF Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B63B35/44 E21B15/02 E02B17/02 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to designs and formation methods of ice-resistant drilling facilities for development of shallow marine continental shelf. Drilling facilities include a self-lifting floating drilling rig with a cantilever, which has a housing and supports, at least one of which is ice-resistant, as well as drilling platform facilities with an ice-resistant housing, which can be installed in a fixed manner at the sea bottom and has upper superstructure for arrangement of equipment. Housing of the drilling rig is equipped at least with two retractable slides oriented towards the drilling platform facilities and mounted so that they can be moved in horizontal plane to transfer the load from the rig housing by means of the above slides to the drilling platform facilities. In the drilling platform facilities housing there are seats corresponding to retractable slides of the self-lifting floating drilling rig. Ice-resistant support of the drilling rig is mounted so that it can be borne against the soil to transfer the load to the sea bottom. The rest supports of the rig are non-ice-resistant and mounted so that they can be lifted above the rig housing after the load transfer from the housing through the drilling platform facilities and ice-resistant support to the sea bottom.

EFFECT: improving reliability at simplifying the design of the facilities, as well as enlarging its operating capabilities by installing the facilities in shallow water.
