Patent number: 11865501Abstract: A system for movement of fluid in a tank comprises: a tank; at least two pumping sets, each pumping set comprising: a pumping line external to the tank and in fluidic communication with the interior of the tank at two separate points of the tank via the two ends of said pumping line, and a pump configured to circulate fluid through the pumping line, wherein each pumping set is configured to collect fluid from the tank at one end of its respective pumping line, circulate the fluid through its respective pumping line and discharge the fluid into said tank through the other end of its respective pumping line, and wherein each pumping set is configured such that the flow of fluid in its respective pumping line is reversible.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: PETROBRÁS TRANSPORTES S/A.—TRANSPETROInventors: Alexandre Teixeira De Pinho Alho, Marta Cecilia Tapia Reyes, Peter Kaleff, Luiz Felipe Fontes Lopes Alves, Jorge Alam Warrak, Isaias Quaresma Masetti

Patent number: 6568880Abstract: A foundation system for tension leg platforms without use of foundation templates, wherein each tendon (5) is directly connected to a socket (9) inside a pile (8), the piles (8) being positioned for driving purpose by a pile-driving template (10) which is employed as a spacing device. The pile-driving template (10) is positioned with the aid of pins (11) that slot into guides (7) built into the well template (6). After the groups of piles (8) needed to anchor a corner of the platform (1) have been driven in, the pile-driving template (10) is withdrawn and repositioned so as to enable the piles for the other group of legs to be driven; this process continues until all of the pile-driving is finished. Alternatively one single pile-driving template (16) may be employed to guide the driving of all the piles (8) thus doing away with the need to reposition the template every time.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2001Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. - PetrobrasInventors: Cipriano José De Medeiros Junio, Elisabeth De Campos Porto, Maria Marta De Castro Rosas, Isaías Quaresma Masetti

Patent number: 6312195Abstract: A method of installing a foundation for a tension leg platform is described that eliminates the foundation template as a permanent, load bearing part of the foundation. As an embodiment of the invention, piles are installed by, for example, being driven into the ocean floor so that each pile is secured to the ocean floor, but is unsecured to any other structure that is on the ocean floor. A tension leg platform is coupled via tendon structures to the piles so that anchoring load paths are defined from the tension leg platform to the ocean floor in a plurality of generally vertical paths extending in axial alignment through the tendon structures to the pile and the ocean floor. Each of the tendon structure to pile anchoring systems is substantially independent of one another.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1999Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. — PetrobrasInventors: Cipriano José De Medeiros Junio, Elisabeth De Campos Porto, Maria Marta De Castro Rosas, Isaías Quaresma Masetti

Patent number: 6176191Abstract: This is a mechanical element intended to control the rolling of FPSO type petroleum production systems which use adapted decommissioned ships as the floating facility. The bilge keel is made up of two lines of plates, continuous or sectioned, in this case with a small separation between each two adjacent sections, mounted along the bilge of the ship, one on either side, at right angles to the hull, and characterized basically by being wider and having a greater total length than the conventional bilge keels used in ships.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1999Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: Petroleo Brasileiro S.A.Inventors: Antonio Carlos Fernandes, Isaias Quaresma Masetti
