Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011150945A1] A flexible pipe system for transferring fluid between a seabed installation (7) and a sea surface installation (6). The flexible pipe system comprises a fixed subsea structure (2) with a support section (3) and a flexible transporting unit (1 ) with an axis along a length thereof, a sea surface end (4) and a seabed end (5) arranged with a horizontal distance and a vertical distance. The sea surface end (4) is connected to the sea surface installation (6) and the seabed end (5) is the touchdown point on the seabed of the flexible transporting unit (1 ) or the point along the flexible transporting unit (1) where it is connected to the seabed installation (7) which ever has the shorter horizontal distance to the sea surface end (4). The flexible transporting unit (1 ) is supported by the support section (3) of the fixed subsea structure (2) at a flexible pipe supporting area (1a) defining a flexible transporting unit sea surface length (1b) extending along the flexible transporting unit (1) from its sea surface end (4) to the flexible pipe supporting area (1a). At least a section of the flexible transporting unit (1) is movable along the axis with respect to the support section (3) of the fixed subsea structure (2) such that the flexible transporting unit sea surface length (1b) can very between a minimum and a maximum length.
