In Rare Evidence, The Video Shows How This Type Of Operation In Offshore Oil And Gas Environments Is Essential To Keep Fixed Maritime Units At A Production Point

Operated through a type of support ship or vessel, the torpedo anchor is a specific type of anchor used to secure oil platforms and Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Units (FPSO) on the seabed. These offshore structures are critical for the exploration and production of oil and gas in deep waters and need to be kept stable and secure in their designated positions. The torpedo anchor plays a key role in this anchoring process.

A video shared on social media shows the exact moment a vessel performs the operational maneuver of the tool. Check it out below:

The torpedo anchor has an aerodynamic shape and is made of high-strength steel. It is designed to be launched to the seabed and penetrate the seafloor due to its shape and falling speed. When buried in the ground, the anchor creates significant resistance that prevents the platform or FPSO from moving.

The Main Advantages Of The Torpedo Anchor Include:

Efficient Anchoring Capacity: The torpedo anchor can quickly penetrate the seafloor and provide stable and secure anchoring for the platform or FPSO.
Simplified Installation: Compared to other types of anchors, the torpedo anchor has a simpler and quicker installation process, as it does not require drilling or excavation equipment, just a ship or support vessel designed for it.
Reduction Of Installation Costs: The ease and speed of installing torpedo anchors can significantly reduce the costs associated with anchoring offshore platforms and FPSOs.
Application In Different Types Of Soil: The torpedo anchor can be used in various types of seabed, such as clay, sand, and gravel, increasing its versatility.

In summary, the torpedo anchor serves to efficiently and securely anchor oil platforms and FPSOs on the seabed, ensuring the stability and safety of these offshore structures during oil and gas exploration and production operations.

Tips For Launching A 120-Ton Torpedo Anchor

Ensure that the launch site is free of obstacles and has enough space to accommodate the anchor.
Position the anchor at the launch site and attach it to the launching system. The launching system should be designed to handle the weight of the anchor and provide secure support during the launch.
Check that all systems are functioning correctly and that there are no defects or issues that could cause a failure in the launch.
Start the launch process by activating the launching system. This may involve hydraulic or pneumatic systems, depending on the design of the launching system.
Apply force to the anchor in the direction of the launch. This can be done using a winch or other mechanical device.
Monitor its trajectory and make necessary adjustments to the launching system as the anchor begins to move.
Continue applying force to the anchor until it reaches the desired location.
Release it from the launching system and secure it in place using appropriate mooring cables as soon as the anchor is successfully launched.
Carry out a post-launch inspection to ensure that all systems are still functioning correctly and that there was no damage to the anchor during the launch process.
Record the launch details, including the date and time of launch, the weight of the anchor, the launching system used, and any other relevant information.

Launching a 120-ton torpedo anchor is a complex and potentially dangerous operation that requires careful planning, attention to detail, and proper training. It is important to follow all safety protocols and procedures to minimize the risk of injury or damage during the launch process.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A Brazilian farmer found the largest red diamond ever discovered in the world in the 1990s, weighing 5.11 carats, from a stone so rare that its color arises from extreme pressures that deform the very structure of the crystal.

Forget sapphire and topaz because there is a blue aluminum borate crystal that is worth 2 thousand dollars per carat and is only found in gem quality in the mountains of Namibia in a completely artisanal mining operation.

New Gripen fighter makes Argentines surrender to Brazil, and the heavy reaction exposes envy, frustration, and shock at Brazil’s technological leap.

A street vendor from Praia Grande built a robot made of scrap from scooters and washing machines that pulls his popcorn cart on the beach, emits sounds, and interacts with customers, becoming an attraction on the coast of São Paulo.

The specifications of the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max have been leaked, and the highlight is a dual 200 MP camera with a new 22-nanometer technology that promises to consume less energy and capture details in shadows and bright areas using LOFIC HDR.

If the trip to the Moon were a hoax, it would be necessary to keep the secret among 400,000 people for more than 50 years and to deceive even the Soviet Union, which was tracking the radio signals coming from the exact direction of the satellite during each Apollo mission.

The 2026 electric Vitara arrives in Brazil and proves that Suzuki is not leaving: 4×4 traction, 184 hp, 61 kWh LFP battery, 293 km range, R$ 259,000, and a trunk capacity of 224 L.
