    摘要: A tendon element (36) is cooperable with other tendon elements to form an abandonment or recovery string. The tendon element (36) is elongate to define opposed ends, and comprises: complementary connector formations (62, 64) at respective ends, each connector formation being cooperable, in use when forming a string, with a complementary connector formation of a neighbouring tendon element (36) in the string; a tensile load-bearing member (66) extending between the connector formations; and at least one sleeve (68) removably mounted around the load-bearing member. The sleeve (68) is arranged to be handled by pipe-joint handling apparatus associated with a J-lay tower.

    摘要: A hydraulically-powered subsea tool system has a tool (26) and a tool power unit (12). The tool (26) communicates with a first connector element (30) on a hydraulic drive circuit (82). The tool power unit (12) has a hydraulic supply circuit (88) communicating with a second connector element (20). The connector elements are wet-mated with each other to connect the circuits for powering the tool. The circuits are pressure-compensated by respective compensators (136,90). When the circuits are connected, a valve (140) is operable to transfer pressure compensation of one of the circuits from the compensator (136) of that circuit to the compensator (90) of the other circuit. The valve (140) suitably transfers pressure compensation of the drive circuit from a drive circuit compensator to a supply circuit compensator.

    摘要: A pipe-bending rig has an anchorage for holding a proximal end of a pipe and a bending former that presents a convex forming surface toward a side of a pipe when the pipe is held by the anchorage to extend distally from the anchorage. A pipe-bending drive exerts lateral force on the pipe to deflect a distal end of the pipe, which effects plastic bending of the pipe along its length against the forming surface. A carriage is movable along a path with respect to the anchorage and the bending former during deflection of the distal end of the pipe. A link carried by the carriage applies distal force to the pipe to impart longitudinal tension to the pipe as the pipe is being bent against the forming surface.
