摘要： A method of connecting a tubing hanger mounted in a subsea wellhead to equipment which is external to the tubing hanger. The method includes securing the tubing hanger to an end of a drill string using a tubing hanger running tool assembly, lowering the drill string from a drilling rig so as to land the tubing hanger on or in the wellhead, running an umbilical from the sea surface to the wellhead, and connecting the umbilical to at least one conduit in the tubing hanger via the tubing hanger running tool assembly. The umbilical is unconnected to the drill string other than via the tubing hanger running tool assembly.

摘要： A subsea well equipment landing body (1) includes an indicator assembly to indicate landing of the landing body or to indicate locking of the landing body. The indicator assembly has a stem bore (7), a sliding stem (11) within the stem bore that has a stem head (23) protruding beyond an external face of the landing body. A stem channel (25) in the sliding stem extends between the stem head and a stem channel mouth (27), and is in fluid communication with the outside of the landing body. A hydraulic channel (9) in the landing body is in fluid communication with the stem bore. The stem channel mouth is positionable in a communicating position, in which there is fluid communication between the hydraulic channel and the stem channel, and a non-communicating position, without fluid communication between the hydraulic channel and the stem channel.

摘要： A fluid separator unit includes an elongate body having a circular internal cross-section and a longitudinal axis, an inlet which directs a fluid flow into the body in a rotational flow pattern around the longitudinal axis, a first outlet, a second outlet, a first centrifugal separation zone arranged within the body, a second centrifugal separation zone arranged within the body, a first fluid path from a central part of the first centrifugal separation zone to the first outlet, a second fluid path from an outer periphery of the second centrifugal separation zone to the first outlet, and a third fluid path from the second centrifugal separation zone to the second outlet. A diameter of the second centrifugal separation zone is smaller than a diameter of the first centrifugal separation zone.

摘要： A riser top connector assembly (20) is shown. The assembly (20) includes a first connector part (21) arranged on a flexible jumper prepared for connection with a second connector part (40) arranged on top of a marine riser tower assembly projecting from the seabed. The first connector part (21) is provided with suspension means adapted to engage with supporting means in order to be supported and be able to tilt in the marine riser tower assembly. The first connector part (21) includes a housing (22) that receives an extendable termination hub (23) having a clamp connector (24) attached thereto. The jumper termination hub (23) is alignable with a riser hub (44) on the second connector part (40) when the first connector part (21) is being tilted relative to the marine riser tower assembly.

摘要： An oilfield tubular, such as a stinger (1), designed to be installed in a tubing hanger (2) in an XMT (Christmas tree) located on the sea bed, is presented. The oilfield tubular (1) is exposed to the production bore (4) pressure, and includes axial sealing means (6) located on an end (1a) of the tubular (1). The axial sealing means (6) includes a metal c-ring seal (6a), which metal c-ring seal (6a) is smaller in cross section than the thickness (t1) of the oilfield tubular wall (1c). The opening (6b) of the metal c-ring seal (6a) is facing the high pressure side of the production bore (4). This pressure tend to expand the c-profile to firm engagement with contacting surfaces.

摘要： The invention relates to agate valve hydraulic actuator, said actuator comprising a cup shaped sleeve (9) which is operably coupled to an opening or closing element (5) of the gate valve (2), the actuator further comprising a movable primary piston (13) arranged within a primary cylinder (12) arranged at the inside of the cup-shaped sleeve (9), said primary piston (13) being con figured to move the sleeve (9) and hence said opening and closing element (5) towards an open or closed position of the gate valve (2) by a force applied to the primary piston (13). The hydraulic actuator is distinctive in that it further comprising a movable secondary piston (11) arranged within a secondary cylinder (10) arranged at the inside of the cup shaped sleeve (9), said secondary piston (11) being configured to move the sleeve (9) to the same position of the gate valve (2) as the primary piston by a force applied to the secondary piston in case of failure of the primary piston (13), said primary piston (13) and secondary piston (11) are independently operable of each other.

摘要： A load carrying bundle of elongate elements combined with a fiber optic cable for integration with an elongated structure to perform global strain monitoring using fiber optic strain sensors is described. The load carrying bundle is made up by a number of individual elongated strength elements, which individual elongated strength elements are laid in a helix around the, in the bundle, centrally located fiber optic cable sensor. The elongated strength elements are laid adjacent to each other enabling to perform both a protective enclosure of the fiber optic cable sensor and to provide frictional bonding between the fiber optic cable sensor and the elongated strength elements.

摘要： A subsea fluid processing system which receives a wellstream flow. The subsea fluid processing system includes a pressure control device which regulates a pressure of the wellstream flow, a gas-liquid separator unit which receives the wellstream flow downstream of the pressure control device and which provides a liquid stream and a gas stream, a first membrane separator which receives the gas stream and which provides a retentate stream and a permeate stream, a compressor which receives the permeate stream and which provides a compressed permeate stream, and a discharge cooler which receives the compressed permeate stream and which provides a cooled compressed permeate stream for injection into a subsurface reservoir. A density of the cooled compressed permeate stream is higher than a density of the compressed permeate stream.
