Abstract:
A system for offloading a fluid from an offshore structure comprises an annular conduit support structure disposed about the offshore structure. The support structure is fixably coupled to the offshore structure. In addition, the system comprises an annular reel disposed about the offshore structure and rotatably coupled to the support structure. The reel includes a conduit fairlead configured to move relative to the support structure. Further, the system comprises a flexible conduit having a fluid inlet end and a fluid outlet end. The flexible conduit includes a first portion wrapped around the conduit support structure and a second portion extending from the conduit support structure through the fairlead.
