Abstract: An offshore assembly to operate a facility, in particular an underwater oil and gas production facility. The offshore assembly has: a semi-submersible support structure arranged in a body of water and having at least one tubular portion; a wind turbine to generate electricity and equipped with a tower, a nacelle and a blade assembly. The offshore assembly also has at least one back-up power source mounted on the semi-submersible support structure to generate electricity. A plurality of compartments are stacked on top of each other within the tubular portion. Each of the compartments is dedicated to housing respective equipment to perform respective functions, and a cooling and ventilation system cools and ventilates the plurality of compartments.

Abstract: A device for transferring fluid from a support installed at sea and fitted with a device for storing flexible pipes having the first ends of a plurality of flexible pipes fastened thereto, the pipes preferably extending between said support and an offloading ship. The pipe device having a first connection and valve device, the pipes being connected to one another at their seconds ends by a the first connection and valve device having n first pipe portions and suitable for being connected to a second connection and valve device, preferably installed on board an offloading ship.

Abstract: A support installed at sea and fitted with a storage and guide device for storing and guiding flexible pipes, the support has a first carrier structure supporting a plurality of turntables arranged one above another, flexible pipes being wound in concentric juxtaposed spiral turns of increasing diameter resting on said turntables, a rotary joint enabling coupling to be established between (1) a first end closest to the center of the turntable of a flexible pipe on said turntable, and (2) an end of a transfer pipe that remains stationary while said turntable is being driven in rotation; a plurality of guides suitable for guiding portions of the flexible pipe outside the turntables.
