Uplift Spring Assembly To Compensate For Hull Deflection At Main Bearing Of A Mooring Turret

View page
US Patent:
6347598, Feb 19, 2002
Filed:
Oct 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/680593
Inventors:
William L. Fontenot - Houston TX
Miles A. Hobdy - Houston TX
L. Terry Boatman - Houston TX
Assignee:
FMC Corporation - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B63B 2100
US Classification:
11423013, 441 3, 405224
Abstract:
An uplift spring assembly to compensate for hull deflection at a main bearing of a mooring turret is disclosed. Elastomeric pads are used to react turret uplift because of their properties of large deflections and resistance to cold weather. Tie rods are provided to transmit the uplift loads into the elastomeric pads. The elastomeric pads react the uplift loads in compression. The assembly arrangement prevents the elastomeric pads from reacting tension loads.

Radial Bearing Arrangement And Method For Installation

View page
US Patent:
6477974, Nov 12, 2002
Filed:
Mar 6, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/093126
Inventors:
Miles A. Hobdy - Houston TX
Assignee:
FMC Technologies, Inc. - DE
International Classification:
B63B 2100
US Classification:
11423012, 1142301
Abstract:
A lower bearing arrangement between a turret of an FPU and a moonpool. The outer housing of the bearing is mounted about the turret instead of the FPUs hull structure. Bearing segments are captured between an outer ring of the turret and an inner ring of the outer housing. The outer housing of the bearing assembly is coupled to a reaction ring of the moonpool so that rotation forces of the vessel are transferred to the outer housing of the bearing. The coupling also includes an arrangement by which the outer housing contacts said reaction ring in the nature of a spherical joint.

Chain Table Arrangement And Method For Installation

View page
US Patent:
6484659, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Mar 18, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/103497
Inventors:
Miles A. Hobdy - Houston TX
L. Terry Boatman - Houston TX
Assignee:
FMC Technologies, Inc. - DE
International Classification:
B63B 2100
US Classification:
1142301, 11423012, 114293
Abstract:
A chain table for connecting mooring legs to a turret. The chain table includes downwardly sloping connection flanges with bosses for forming holes for pivoting members of a coupler assembly. The downward slope of the flanges allows forces from connected anchor legs to be better directed to the chain table as compared to connecting flanges which extend perpendicularly from the body of the chain table. As a result, the chain table can be made smaller which allows it to be fabricated by casting techniques. An anchor leg pattern is established by connecting vessel end portions of anchor legs to the chain table while the vessel is in port, installing at a mooring site seabed portions of anchor legs according to an anchor leg pattern, and after the vessel arrives at the mooring site, connecting each vessel end portion to each corresponding seabed anchor leg portion to establish the anchor leg pattern for mooring the vessel.

Chain Tensioning Arrangement For Turret Moored Vessel

View page
US Patent:
6564740, May 20, 2003
Filed:
Sep 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/656436
Inventors:
Miles A. Hobdy - Houston TX
Stephen P. Lindblade - Waller TX
David M. Seaman - Hockley TX
Michael G. Shuhatovich - Houston TX
Assignee:
FMC Technologies, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B63B 2100
US Classification:
11423012, 114293
Abstract:
A single hoisting mechanism is positioned on a turret of either an external or an internal turret mooring system for a FSO or FPSO vessel and is releasably securable to each of a plurality of anchor leg chains. The mechanism is mounted for angular rotation about the center-line of the turret in order that the hoist can be angularly aligned and selectively engaged with each of the anchor leg chains or riser/umbilicals spaced around the turret.

Flex Coupling Arrangement Between Upper And Lower Turret Structures

View page
US Patent:
6588357, Jul 8, 2003
Filed:
Apr 9, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/119188
Inventors:
Miles A. Hobdy - Houston TX
Assignee:
FMC Technologies, Inc. - Chiago IL
International Classification:
B63B 2202
US Classification:
1142301, 441 5
Abstract:
A turret is supported on a vessel with bearing assemblies that permit the vessel to weathervane about the turret. The turret includes an upper turret structure, a lower turret structure, and a flex joint arrangement. The upper turret structure connects to the vessel with an upper turret bearing assembly and conical couplings. The conical couplings not only allow a smaller diameter bearing to be used on the upper turret, but also isolate the upper turret bearing assembly from ovaling of the vessel. A lower radial bearing assembly provides radial rotation support to a lower turret structure. A flex joint arrangement connects the upper and lower turret structures with a flex joint to minimize moments transferred from the lower turret structure to the upper bearing assembly. In one arrangement, the flex joint is located between the upper turret and a middle ring of the flex joint arrangment; and, in another arrangement, the flex joint is located between the lower turret structure and the middle ring of the flex joint arrangement.

Turret Mooring System And Method For Installation

View page
US Patent:
6698372, Mar 2, 2004
Filed:
Oct 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/982195
Inventors:
Miles A. Hobdy - Houston TX
L. Terry Boatman - Houston TX
Assignee:
FMC Technologies, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B63B 2202
US Classification:
11423012
Abstract:
An improved turret for a turret mooring arrangement characterized by the turret including an upper section and a lower section which are coupled together by a flex joint. The turret mooring arrangement also includes a turret insert tube with a lower section that is rotatably coupled to the vessel by a radial bearing assembly. The radial bearing assembly includes an outer member having an outer profile arranged and designed to cooperate with a complementary profile in the interior of the turret insert tube so that the outer member is turned by the turret insert tube when the vessel rotates about said turret, without fixed attachment of the outer member to the turret insert tube. Methods of installing a turret and lower bearing assembly within a turret insert tube of a vessel are also disclosed.

Apparatus And Method For Handling A Blowout Preventer

View page
US Patent:
7086474, Aug 8, 2006
Filed:
May 13, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/437365
Inventors:
Mark W. Trevithick - Houston TX, US
Miles A. Hobdy - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
T & T Engineering Services, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 19/00
E21B 33/06
US Classification:
166379, 166 854
Abstract:
A blowout preventer handling apparatus including a frame structure, a carriage slidably supported on the frame structure, a raising frame pivotally supported on the carriage, and a positioner mechanism cooperatively connected to the raising frame for receiving the blowout preventer therein and for moving the blowout preventer upwardly-and-downwardly, rotationally, and side-to-side. A tray is slidably supported on the carriage so as to be movable between a first position away from the positioning mechanism to a position directly below the positioning mechanism. An outrigger assembly is selectively movable outwardly of an end of the frame structure.

12/271743
Inventors:
Miles Hobdy - Fulshear TX, US
International Classification:
H02P 9/14
US Classification:
290 42, 290 53
Abstract:
A wave energy converter has a shell, a pendulum pivotally positioned in the shell, a magnet thereon, a variable inductor positioned in the shell, a pendulum adjustor for changing a center of gravity of the pendulum, a motion sensor positioned in the shell, a position sensor connected to the pendulum, a rotation sensor connected to the pendulum, and a controller connected to the motion sensor and the position sensor and the rotation sensor. The pendulum has a magnet thereon. The magnet of the pendulum oscillates adjacent the variable inductor. The variable inductor can adjust the inductive capacity.
