1. US 6058979
Title: Subsea pipeline insulation
Abstract: A deep sea insulated pipeline comprises an inner pipe which is encased lengthwise by an insulating core. The insulating core comprises macrospheres surrounded by syntactic foam that includes a semi-rigid resin binder and microspheres. The semi-rigid resin binder reinforces the macrospheres to provide sufficient strength to withstand the hydrostatic pressure at depths in excess of several thousand feet of water, and is yet flexible enough to accommodate bending associated with deep sea pipe laying operations. The deep sea insulated pipeline may also include a protective outer casing. The inner pipe extends through and cooperates with the outer casing to define an annulus chamber containing the insulating core. The outer casing may be a plastic pipe. In a preferred embodiment the semi-rigid resin binder includes Bisphenol-A epoxy resin, an anhydride curing agent, and a flexibilizer.
First Claim:
An insulated pipeline, comprising:
an inner pipe; and
an insulating core that encases lengthwise said inner pipe and comprises macrospheres surrounded by syntactic foam that includes a semi-rigid resin binder and microspheres, wherein said semi-rigid resin binder reinforces said macrospheres to provide sufficient strength to withstand the hydrostatic pressure at depths in excess of several thousand feet of water, and is yet sufficiently flexible to accommodate bending associated with deep sea pipe laying operations.
2. US 6827110
Title: Subsea insulated pipeline with pre-cured syntactic elements and methods of manufacture
Abstract: An insulated pipeline comprises an inner pipe, and an outer poly sleeve co-axial with the inner pipe. The inner pipe and the outer poly sleeve are in spaced relationship to define an annulus. An insulating core within the annulus encases lengthwise the inner pipe, and comprises a plurality of pre-cured syntactic elements. A first binder fills interstices in the annulus. The pre-cured syntactic elements include microspheres and a second binder. Each of the pre-cured syntactic elements may also include macrospheres. The pre-cured syntactic elements preferably extruded and cylindrically shaped. In addition, in one embodiment, the second binder is preferably more rigid than the first binder.
First Claim:
An insulated length of pipe, comprising:
an inner pipe;
an outer poly sleeve co-axial with said inner pipe;
means for spacing said inner pipe and said outer poly sleeve to define an annulus;
an insulating core within said annulus that encases lengthwise said inner pipe and comprises a plurality of pre-cured syntactic elements; and
a first binder that fills interstices in said annulus.
3. US 7628665
Title: Drilling riser buoyancy modules
Abstract: Buoyancy modules for subsea riser pipes are made of syntactic foam solid cores covered with tough high density polyethylene shells. Inner surfaces have partial semi-cylindrical surfaces to fit the riser pipes. Internal radial grooves hold flexible contact pads. Recesses in the inner surfaces hold auxiliary lines. Flat surfaces between the inner and outer semi-cylindrical surfaces have complementary longitudinally extending semi-cylindrical grooves to position choke and kill lines. Grooves in the outer semi-cylindrical surfaces hold composite fiber tensioning straps directly outward from the flexible contact pads. Flat areas of the grooves hold tensioning hardware. Tensioning the straps grips the riser pipe with the pads and grips the choke and kill lines in the semi-circular grooves. Cavities in the ends allow the buoyancy module halves to be assembled on the riser pipe around clamps which hold the accompanying lines.
First Claim:
Drilling riser buoyancy module apparatus comprising:
two opposite halves having complementary axially extending openings for receiving and holding auxiliary lines, each half having a generally semi-cylindrical syntactic foam solid core, the syntactic foam core having an axially extended semi-cylindrical outer surface, an axially extended curved partially semi-cylindrical inner surface and radially opposite and radially and axially extending generally flat faces between the outer and inner surfaces, the axially and radially extending faces having semi-circular depressions for receiving and holding a choke line and a kill line in the depressions, the inner surfaces being configured to flexible drilling riser pipe circumferential requirements, longitudinally extended outward recesses in the curved inner surface to receive auxiliary lines, spaced semi-cylindrical recesses in the curved inner semi-cylindrical surfaces for holding flexible contact pads, flexible contact pads positioned in the spaced inner semi-cylindrical recesses and extending inward therefrom for contacting the drilling riser, outer semi-cylindrical grooves located outward from the inner semi-cylindrical recesses for holding tensioning straps cooperating with the contact pads to compress the contact pads on the drilling riser, a tough high density polyethylene outer shell coating fastened to the outer surface and the outer grooves of the syntactic foam solid core, composite fiber tensioning straps positioned in the outer grooves, tensioning hardware at ends of the composite fiber tensioning straps for tightly tensioning the straps.
