Self-Elevating Offshore Structure
US Patent:
2006006, Mar 23, 2006
Filed:
Jun 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/610033
Inventors:
William Bennett - Metairie LA, US
Jacob Alford - New Orleans LA, US
Jose Vazquez Gonzalez - New Orleans LA, US
Jacob Alford - New Orleans LA, US
Jose Vazquez Gonzalez - New Orleans LA, US
International Classification:
E02B 17/08
US Classification:
405198000, 405196000
Abstract:
A self-elevating offshore structure supports a deck for production operations at sea in the absence of an elevating hull. A non-buoyant deck is supported by braces and truss legs above wave action. The legs move in relation to the legs and the braces, elevating the deck and the braces supporting the deck. The offshore structure is transported to a deployment site by a buoyant vessel and then released from the vessel once the legs are embedded into the sea bottom.
Cantilever Skidding System On A Drilling Rig
US Patent:

International Classification:
E02B 17/00
US Classification:
405201, 405202
Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved cantilever () for skidding on a platform () of a drilling rig. The cantilever () has two longitudinal members () while an edge () of the platform () has two transverse members (). The longitudinal and transverse members are connected at each interposition by a sliding and swivel assembly (). Each sliding/swivel assembly () is connected by an actuator () to the longitudinal or transverse member so that the cantilever () is operable to be displaced on the platform () by translation, rotation or a combination of translation and rotation.
