ABSTRACT:
Method and device for connecting submarine pipelines to a marine platform resting by its weight on the sea bed and called a weight-platform, whose object is to dispense with the intervention of frog-men which was necessary up till now to make such connections. The essential feature of the invention consists in inserting each pipeline to be connected in the base of the platform through a cavity whose dimensions are determined so as to enable both the installing of the fluid-tight sealing means necessary for the connecting operation and the free play of the pipeline during operation. That method and device are applicable to all marine oil fields to ensure the reliability of the connections and the reducing of the dangers of pollution.
