Abstract[English]
A method for setting an anchor pile includes moving a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) such that at least one hoist unit in the MODU is disposed over a water bottom location for setting the anchor pile. A hole is drilled through the water bottom for receiving the anchor pile. A drill string and bottom hole assembly (BHA) used to drill the hole are removed. The anchor pile is extended into the hole; Cement is pumped through a cementing string extended from the MODU and through the anchor pile. The cementing string is disconnected from the anchor pile. After the cement is cured, tension is applied from a line or string extended from the MODU to test mooring strength of the anchor pile.[French]
La présente invention concerne un procédé de réglage d'un pieu d'ancrage comprenant le déplacement d'une unité de forage en mer mobile (MODU) de telle sorte qu'au moins une unité de levage dans la MODU est disposée sur un emplacement de fond d'eau pour régler le pieu d'ancrage. Un trou est percé dans le fond d'eau pour recevoir le pieu d'ancrage. Un train de tiges de forage et un ensemble de fond de trou (BHA) utilisés pour forer le trou sont retirés. Le pieu d'ancrage est étendu dans le trou ; du ciment est pompé à travers une chaîne de cimentation s'étendant à partir de la MODU et à travers le pieu d'ancrage. La chaîne de cimentation est déconnectée du pieu d'ancrage. Une fois le ciment durci, une tension est appliquée à partir d'une ligne ou d'une corde étendue à partir de la MODU pour tester la force d'amarrage du pieu d'ancrage.
