MOVABLE SELF-ELEVATING ARTIFICAL WORK ISLAND WITH MODULAR HULL |
摘要 |
A buoyantly moveable, self-elevating (jack-up) artificial work island or platform self-assembled while floating upon a work body of water by reversibly coupling together a plurality of independently buoyant modular hull components (20, 30), each of which is relatively narrow beam and capable of navigation through relatively narrow waterways. After self-assembly, the work platform is self-elevating upon a plurality of legs (51, 52, 53) to a desired distance above the work body of water. The work platform may be buoyantly moved to subsequent work locations as a unit, or separated into modular hull components each of which may be buoyantly moved separately to the subsequent locations. The work platform may further have a drilling derrick, a hoist, drilling fluid pumps, a rotary table and other equipment associated with earthboring for oil and gas installed thereon. The work platform may be elevated above the water surface a sufficient distance to accomodate operational conditions. In one embodiment, additional internal pilings are driven through the legs into the water bottom to provide additional support.
