Abstract[English]
Disclosed are dense fluids for use in offshore applications, such as wind turbine platforms, oil and gas platforms, gravity anchors, catenary weights as well as other gravity-based structures. The dense fluid can be mixed with low-density fluid and high-density solid particles to form an intermediate dense fluid. The intermediate dense fluid is mixed with intermediate-density solid particles having the same density as the intermediate dense fluid to form a dense fluid with the desired target density. The dense fluid can be produced cost-effectively by selecting intermediate-density particles which are plentiful and can be obtained cheaply.[French]
L'invention concerne des fluides denses destinés à être utilisés dans des applications en mer, telles que des plateformes éoliennes, des plateformes pétrolières et gazières, des ancrages par gravité, des poids pour lignes d'ancrage ainsi que d'autres structures basées sur la gravité. Le fluide dense peut être mélangé avec un fluide de faible densité et des particules solides de haute densité pour former un fluide dense intermédiaire. Le fluide dense intermédiaire est mélangé avec des particules solides de densité intermédiaire ayant la même densité que le fluide dense intermédiaire pour former un fluide dense ayant la densité cible souhaitée. Le fluide dense peut être produit de manière économique par la sélection de particules de densité intermédiaire qui sont abondantes et peuvent être obtenues de manière économique.
