Patent number: 10934798Abstract: An unmanned wellhead platform (1) (UWP) comprising a jacket (10) designed and adapted to be supported on the seabed and projecting above the sea level is shown. The unmanned wellhead platform (1) includes a topside installed on top of the jacket (10). The topside is designed as a standardized base concept tailored for repetitive future topside constructions (3). Each topside construction (3) is adapted to the number of wells to be developed. The topside construction (3) is made up by a number of different but standardized sections (4). Each standardized section (4) is dedicated for a particular and predetermined purpose and location in the topside construction (3).Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Kværner ASInventor: Knut Engene

Patent number: 10711949Abstract: An arrangement of an unmanned and remotely operated production facility comprising a wellhead platform including a wellhead assembly having an X-mas tree, a flowline transporting hydrocarbon fluids produced from a well via said wellhead assembly to one or more consecutive process equipment(s), and further on to a destination via a transport line. Any process equipment and/or pipeline section located at a higher level than said outlet point from said wellhead assembly, is arranged to either drain back to the x-mas tree, or drain downstream to said transport pipeline by assistance of respective valves arranged along said flowline.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Kværner ASInventors: Odd Inge Stuedal, Arne Budal

Publication number: 20160356143Abstract: A method and system for oil production in remote deep-water areas, especially in areas where weather or ice conditions may require closing and removal of surface facilities and equipment. Processing of the produced oil from subsea oil wells is partly performed subsea on a subsea oil and gas production unit (10) called Deepwater Production System (DPS), whereas the remaining processing takes part on a vessel (1) that may be disconnected from the DPS if the conditions make it necessary. The method and system take advantage of combining and integrating subsea processing with processing at atmospheric pressure onboard the vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2014Publication date: December 8, 2016Applicant: Kvaerner ASInventor: Rolf Eie
