    Abstract: A top drive well drilling installation comprising a drilling tower, vertical rails supported by the drilling tower, a trolley guided along said one or more vertical rails, and a hoisting device for moving the trolley up and down. The installation further comprises a tubular stem which is to be connected to the upper end of a drill string for rotation therewith about an axis of the drill string, and a top drive unit including a motor adapted to rotate the tubular stem and thereby the connected drill string to drill a well, wherein the top drive unit is supported by the trolley. Furthermore an elevator is provided which is adapted to—in an operative position—suspend the drill string, e.g. during tripping, and an elevator support assembly is provided which is adapted to absorb the load of the suspended drill string and adapted to move the elevator between an operative position on the drill string axis and a retracted position. According to the present invention, the elevator support assembly is embodied as a direct drill string load bearing connection between the elevator and the trolley, independent from the top drive unit.

    Abstract: An offshore vessel capable of installing and removing a subsea well control device and a riser string includes a hoisting device having a travelling block for connecting a load. The travelling block is displaceable along a firing line which extends through a moonpool and a heave compensation system. The vessel further includes a working deck supported by the hull of the vessel which covers at least a portion of the moonpool to allow the assembly of a riser string. The working deck is provided with a riser string suspension device that allows to suspend a top end of a string of risers. A heave compensation connection system is adapted to connect the working deck to the travelling block, such that the hoisting device can move the working deck when the working deck is connected to the travelling block between a lowered riser assembly position and a raised heave compensated position.

    Abstract: An offshore subsea wellbore activities system and method wherein use is made of a tower and a motion arm assembly with vertical drive adapted to move the motion arm along a vertical motion arm rail relative to the tower. Also use is made of a wellbore activities device comprising a riser tension frame having an upper frame section, a lower frame section provided with a riser attachment device adapted to attach a riser to said lower frame section so as to extend in a firing line, and a vertical riser load bearing structure, e.g. formed by struts. The wellbore activities device further comprises a coiled tubing injector, a wireline lubricator, and one or more pressure control devices associated with the coiled tubing injector and/or the wireline lubricator received by and individually movable within the riser tension frame. The wellbore activities device provides a lateral firing line access passage allowing to transfer an elongated wellbore tool or a wellbore tubular in vertical orientation thereof by means of the motion arm assembly in a substantially lateral motion between and a remote position outside of the riser tension frame and an operative position within the riser tension frame and aligned with the firing line.
