    Abstract: A floating petroleum production support having a turret passing a plurality of flexible first pipes connected to a top platform. The turret includes at least one guide and offset pipe for containing and guiding a flexible first pipe and passing inside the cylindrical internal structure of the turret non-vertically between: a) a bottom wall at a first location (C1) of the bottom wall where the guide pipe is fastened; and b) an internal platform above the bottom wall, the top end of the guide pipe being fastened to the internal platform at a second location (C2) where the top end of the flexible pipe contained in the guide pipe is fastened or is suitable for being fastened, the second location not being in vertical alignment with the first location.

    Abstract: A heated subsea pipe and process for transporting fluids, includes a plurality of pipe sections each having a transport tube for receiving the fluids, an electrically insulating inner layer arranged around the transport tube, a sealing tube made of electrically conductive material arranged around the electrically insulating inner layer, a thermally insulating outer layer arranged around the sealing tube. The transport tube is electrically connected to the sealing tube at each of the two ends of the pipe. The pipe includes two electrical cables connected to an electric generator and, to the transport tube and to the sealing tube of the pipe at a point situated between the two ends of the pipe to produce two parallel electrical circuits each traversed by an electric current for heating the transport tube of the pipe by Joule effect.

    Abstract: A method for assembling pipe-in-pipe pipeline elements for transporting fluids, with each pipeline element comprising an inner pipe including a bulge at one end, and an outer pipe including a recess at one end. The method comprises the successive steps: inserting a first locking wedge axially abutting the bulge of its inner pipe and a corresponding end of its outer pipe, butt-assembling the inner pipe of a new pipeline element on the inner pipe of the pipeline, positioning the outer pipe of the new pipeline element alongside the outer pipe of the pipeline, and butt-assembling the outer pipe of the new pipeline element on the outer pipe of the pipeline by inserting a second locking wedge axially abutting against the bulge of the inner pipe of the pipeline at its free end and the recess of the outer pipe at a corresponding end thereof.

    Abstract: A combined metrology method is provided for calculating the distance, the roll and pitch attitudes, and the relative orientations between two undersea points of interest. The method comprises positioning on the sea bottom a long-range acoustic positioning system having acoustic beacons, calibrating the system in order to determine the positions of the beacons relative to one another, deploying a vehicle on the sea bottom, taking a plurality of scenes around each point of interest in order to acquire point clouds, and processing the point clouds in order to calculate the coordinates of points in a common reference frame defined by the array of beacons and centered on the position of one of the acoustic beacons.

    Abstract: A process and a device for determining the volume of liquid remaining inside a flexible pouch provided with means for dispensing the liquid to be consumed comprises placing the pouch inside a rigid envelope filled with a known volume V1 of a first measuring liquid having an electrical conductivity C1, during the dispensing of a volume VA of liquid to be consumed, admitting inside the rigid envelope the same volume of a second measuring liquid present outside the rigid envelope and having an electrical conductivity C2 different from the electrical conductivity C1, measuring the electrical conductivity CM of the mixture of the measuring liquids present inside the rigid envelope, determining the volume VA of liquid to be consumed which has been dispensed from the measurement of the electrical conductivity C3, and calculating the volume Vr of liquid to be consumed remaining inside the pouch from the volumes Vi and VA.
