  • Patent number: 10870467
    Abstract: An offshore material handling system including an offshore crane carrying vessel(4), an installation structure (1) fixed to the seabed and projecting above the sea level is described. The installation structure(1) includes a material handling distribution system on board the installation structure(1). The material handling system includes an independent platform structure(3) for temporary attachment to the installation structure(1) and temporary use on the installation structure (1) for load transfer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 22, 2020
    Assignee: Kværner AS

  • Patent number: 10711949
    Abstract: 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: Grant

  • Patent number: 10625991
    Abstract: A deck hoist tractor (DHT) for an unmanned platform (1) comprising an elongated base frame structure (12) carrying respective caterpillar drives (18) on each side enabling the tractor (2) to move forward and rearward, characterised in that the tractor (2) further comprising a tower frame structure (10) extending in substantially vertical direction from one end section of the base frame structure (12), which tower frame structure (10) is carrying a cantilevered top frame structure (11) carrying a lifting apparatus (22, 21), said caterpillar drives (18) are located at the same end section as said top frame structure (11), that said base frame structure (12) is extended by respective cantilevered beams (12a) space apart with an opening between them, each cantilevered beam (12) having an adjustable support structure (19) adjacent to their distal end (12b) from the caterpillar drive (18), said cantilevered top frame structure (11) is extended to vertically correspond with said respective cantilevered beams (12a),

    Abstract: An arrangement of an unmanned and remotely operated production facility comprising a wellhead platform including a wellhead assembly (1) having an X-mas tree, a flowline (2) transporting hydrocarbon fluids produced from a well via said wellhead assembly to two or more consecutive process equipment(s) (3-6), and further on to a destination via a transport line (8). Any process equipment and/or pipeline section located at a higher level than said outlet point A from said wellhead assembly (1), 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 (2).
