Installation Technology and Application of Umbilical Termination Head
The engineering prototype of Umbilical Termination Head(UTH)is developed to break through the bottleneck of technology.On this basis,the research on UTH installation technology is carried out,and the technical parameters,equipment and steps of UTH installation are analyzed.Then,the movement characteristics of UTH in installation are simulated based on Orcaflex software.The installation tension of UTH,and the displacement and torsional angle of UTH under the umbilical cable torsion and wind wave current coupling are calculated.The adjustment method of underwater installation alignment of UTH is given according to the technical parameters of UTH installation,providing reference for the subsequent installation of UTH.
