Mooring means, particularly for carrying out production tests for gas and oil drilling on the high seas

摘要

A mooring system for carrying out production tests for gas and oil drilling on the high seas, comprises a vessel with rigid arms pivotally interconnected therewith for relative vertical swinging movement. The arms are connected with a slender vertical buoy by universal joint, and a float is connected to the arms at a distance from the buoy. The buoy has a taut but flexible connection with an underlying anchor on the sea floor.
