Estimating the term…
An integrated production complex includes a gravity-based structure (GBS) accommodating topside modules with process equipment. The GBS has rectangular top and base slabs, an intermediate horizontal slab, internal vertical walls, at least one compartment with a tank to store hydrocarbons and/or respective processed products, and ballast compartments. The top slab has supports, on which the topside modules are installed. The GBS has a rectangular prism central part including the top slab, and a protruding part disposed along the sides of the central part around its entire perimeter and having external vertical walls. Protruding and central parts share the base slab, with the protruding part height less than the central part. The central part has longitudinal and transverse walls forming compartments for tanks and ballast compartments. The protruding part has internal walls that are perpendicular to its external walls and form compartments, some of which are ballast compartments.
A production complex for hydrocarbon processing which comprises a gravity-based structure and topside modules with process equipment located on it, the gravity-based structure has a central part and a protruding part, with the central part having form of a rectangular parallelepiped with a top slab and an intermediate support slab, and the protruding part stretching along the central part sides all around a perimeter of the central part and having external vertical walls, the protruding part and central part share a base slab, with the protruding part being lower in height than the central part, the central part has longitudinal and transverse vertical walls that form compartments, some of which are compartments to store hydrocarbons and/or processed product, and some of which are first ballast compartments, some of the compartments to store hydrocarbons accommodating tanks are located on the intermediate support slab, each of some compartments of the central part, including the compartments to store hydrocarbons and/or processed product and the first ballast compartments, are located on both sides of the support slab and extend from the base slab to the top slab, and there are additional longitudinal and transverse walls forming second ballast compartments between the intermediate support slab and the base slab, besides the protruding part has internal walls that are perpendicular to its external walls and form compartments, some of which are third ballast compartments.
