Abstract
A well intervention monohull vessel and method of use including a tower type open derrick structure disposed on a deck of the vessel and a sole point land out having a sole point of riser tension contact with a top of the derrick structure. The vessel may also include subsea equipment such as an intervention riser system and an emergency disconnect package, a moon pool door preferably capable of transporting the subsea equipment, an intervention lift frame, a surface coiled tubing reel, a riser storage area, a rail, a pallet, a subsea tree, a crane, and/or drawworks.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A well intervention monohull vessel, wherein the vessel has a deck, comprising:
a tower type open derrick structure disposed on the deck; and a sole point land out having a sole point of a riser tension contact with a top of the derrick structure; and a moon pool door capable of being flush with the deck, wherein the moon pool door is capable of serving as a drill floor of the vessel.
2 . The vessel of claim 1 wherein the moon pool door is capable of running at least one subsea equipment and transporting at least one subsea equipment.
3 . The vessel of claim 1 , wherein the moon pool door comprises a power slip.
4 . The vessel of claim 2 wherein the subsea equipment comprises:
an intervention riser system; and
an emergency disconnect package.
5 . The vessel of claim 2 , wherein the sole point land out is capable of interacting with the subsea equipment.
4 . The vessel of claim 1 , wherein the sole point land out is capable of interacting with well intervention equipment.
6 . The vessel of claim 1 further comprising an intervention lift frame.
7 . The vessel of claim 1 further comprising at least one surface coiled tubing reel disposed on the deck.
8 . The vessel of claim 1 further comprising at least one riser storage area.
9 . The vessel of claim 1 further comprising:
at least one rail; and
at least one pallet.
10 . The vessel of claim 1 further comprising at least one subsea tree.
11 . The vessel of claim 1 further comprising at least one crane disposed on the deck.
12 . The vessel of claim 1 comprising at least one drawworks in connection with the sole point land out.
13 . A method of using a monohull vessel, wherein the vessel has a deck, comprising the steps of:
(a) placing a tower type open derrick on the deck; (b) drawing a sole point land out having a sole point of a riser tension contact with a top of the derrick structure; and (c) installing a moon pool door capable of being flush with the deck, wherein the moon pool door is capable of serving as a drill floor of the vessel.
14 . The method of claim 13 further comprising the steps of:
(d) disposing at least one subsea equipment via the sole point land out.
15 . The method of claim 14 wherein the subsea equipment comprises an intervention riser system and an emergency disconnect package.
16 . The method of claim 13 wherein the moon pool door in step (c) is capable of:
(i) running at least one subsea equipment; and
(ii) transporting at least one subsea equipment.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the moon pool door comprises a power slip and the step of running the at least one subsea equipment further comprises activating the power slip.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
