TELESCOPIC CONTAINERS FOR HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

摘要

Telescopic containers (10, 100) for containing fluids associated with hydrocarbon production are disclosed. Such containers (10, 100) may comprise a lower container section (12), an upper container section (14) moveable between a retracted position and an extended position in a telescopic manner relative to the lower container section (12) and a sealing member (40, 50). The sealing member (40, 50) prevents or substantially prevents leakage of fluid from the container (10, 100) between the upper container section (14) and the lower container section (12). The lower container section (12) may define an elongated and/or multi-sided shape.

主权项

1. A telescopic container for fluid associated with hydrocarbon production, the container comprising:
a lower container section comprising a floor having an elongated shape, the lower container section defining a lower container space; an upper container section moveable between a retracted position and an extended position in a telescopic manner relative to the lower container section; and a sealing member; wherein while the upper container section is disposed in the extended position, the lower container section, the upper container section and the sealing member cooperate to define an expanded container space larger than the lower container space; and wherein the sealing member is configured to prevent or substantially prevent leakage of fluid from the expanded container space between the upper container section and the lower container section.
