| 摘要 |
The disclosure relates to a floating oil/gas production terminal comprising a multi-hull vessel having a plurality of vertically spaced barge form hulls interconnected together to form a unitary structure including an upper hull which floats the vessel and a lower hull which provides gas/oil/other liquid storage space. A vertical throughway extends through the hulls towards one end thereof and a manifold system is disposed in the free space between the hulls and is mounted for rotation on the upper and/or lower hulls about a vertical axis extending through the throughway to receive a plurality of pipelines connected directly or indirectly to seabed wellheads. A rotary fluid coupling is provided having two elements relatively rotatable about the vertical axis. One element has a connection to conduit a mounted on the upper hull and a second element is connected by a conduit to the manifold system between the hulls whereby the vessel may swing about the vertical axis leaving the manifold system and pipe line(s) connected thereto stationary with respect to the seabed.
