Скачать или смотреть Flowline Installation via Subsea Carrier Unit (Flexcom)

Here’s a video showing an unusual flowline installation procedure being simulated by Flexcom. Direct vertical over-well access was not possible in this project, so Wood’s subsea engineering team modelled an innovative installation concept involving a large subsea carrier unit (designed by others) and several complex towing and lifting operations. The installation concept involved towing of a flexible jumper, flowline and FLET above the sea floor with the aid of flotation bags, winches, drag chains and subsea pulleys. Animation of the installation process, accelerated for illustration here, shows the carrier unit moving horizontally, and the effective tension building in the flowline as the tow begins. Flexcom provided key information on limiting parameters, such as bending moment at flanges, tension and loading angle at connectors, seabed clearances, and minimum bend radius at the bend restrictor. If you have any questions, feel free to contact @Jason Payne or @Patrick Dooley in Wood’s Galway office. PS: Thank you to @Brian Egan for sharing the model. #wood #subseaengineering
