ABSTRACT:
A flare buoy for burning off excess hydrocarbon gas during the offshore production or processing of hydrocarbons, comprises a submerged buoyant body that extends upwardly past the water in a portion of reduced cross-sectional area and terminates upwardly in a flare conduit which receives gaseous hydrocarbon from a tanker or other buoyant structure. The flare buoy is rigidly connected to an arm which at its end remote from the flare buoy is pivotally connected to the tanker. The arm is in two parts that diverge from the flare buoy and are pivotally connected to the side of the tanker.
