TENSIONING SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTION TUBING IN A RISER AT A FLOATING INSTALLATION FOR HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION.

摘要

A device for tensioning and relieving production tubing (49) extending from a subsea hydrocarbon well (107) up through a riser (63) to a floating installation (87), a continuous production tubing extension (85) passing through a telescopic unit (67) in the upper part of the riser (63), preferably extending above a production deck (89) on the floating installation (87), where the production tubing (49) is provided with a tubing tensioner unit (1) below and in the proximity of the lower end of the telescopic unit (67).
