  • Patent number: 11878774
    Abstract: A tie-in system (47, 48) for tie-in of a transfer pipe (13, 14) to a support unit (12) is disclosed, where the transfer pipe (13, 14) is arranged at least partly in a body of water (19). The tie-in system (47, 48) comprises: a spool piece (61, 71) that in one end is adapted to be attached to the transfer pipe (13, 14) and in the other end to be connected to a pipe element (58, 68) arranged on the support unit (12), a chute device (59, 69) that is adapted to be attached to the support unit (12) and to accommodate the transfer pipe (13, 14) such that the chute device (59, 69) supports the transfer pipe (13, 14) and takes up and transfers vertical and transverse forces from the transfer pipe (13, 14) to the support unit (12), a tie-in device (77, 79) that is connected to the spool piece (61, 71) and is adapted to be connected to a tie-in member (76, 78) on the support unit (12) such that tension loads are transferred from the transfer pipe (13, 14) to the support unit (12).

  • Patent number: 6868907
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement for separating oil and water by means of a two-phase liquid/liquid separator. The oil phase and the water phase respectively are separated over a portion of the length of the separator from an upstream end to a downstream end. The oil phase and the water phase respectively are extracted gradually over a length of the separator, and each of the phases is conducted out of the separator separately. A method and an arrangement for orienting the separator in a well are also described.
