Title:
DENSE FLUIDS FOR BALLASTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/018283
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
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.
