Method and apparatus for the installation of a hose between a platform and a submerged buoy

摘要

Catenary hoses are installed individually between a floating production platform and a submerged riser buoy. During installation the hose end to be installed on the submerged riser buoy is linked with a remotely controlled handling tool which is lowered onto the buoy and which subsequently pulls an end of the hose into a hose receptor on the buoy. The hose is similarly connected to the platform by use of another remotely controlled handling tool.
