More Information
Summary:A subsea fluid storage system comprises: a seabed foundation; a tensile member such as a pipe or a wire extending upwardly from the foundation; and a subsea buoy applying buoyant upthrust to support the tensile member in an upright orientation. At least one fluid storage container is disposed between the foundation and the buoy. The or each container may be disposed around the tensile member, for example with the tensile member extending through the container. The container has at least one inlet or outlet for fluid communication with a source or a consumer of fluid to be stored in the container. Selon l'invention, un système de stockage de fluide sous-marin comprend : une fondation de fond marin ; un élément de traction tel qu'un tuyau ou un câble s'étendant vers le haut à partir de la fondation ; et une bouée sous-marine appliquant une poussée ascendante de flottement permettant de supporter l'élément de traction dans une orientation verticale. Au moins un récipient de stockage de fluide est disposé entre la fondation et la bouée. Le ou chaque récipient peut être disposé autour de l'élément de traction, par exemple, l'élément de traction s'étendant à travers le récipient. Le récipient comporte au moins une entrée ou une sortie pour la communication fluidique avec une source ou un consommateur de fluide à stocker dans le récipient.
