Disconnectable tension leg platform for offshore oil production facility

摘要: A quick connect/disconnect system for an offshore oil/gas production platform is facilitated by a submerged connection header the platform. The comprises vessel with bay on bottom. has ability to be ballasted position either or transport toward and away from header. houses lines control positively buoyed held in place tension cables extending bottom ocean floor. couplers devices releasably linking whereby may state of positive buoyancy appropriately deballasting vessel. includes device forcing apart break coupling thereby permitting move upwardly
