    Abstract: A damaged portion of a pipeline buried in a trench is gradually lifted from the trench to expose the damaged portion above water and provide easy access to the damaged portion. Inflatable roller bags are placed under the pipeline adjacent the damaged portion; the roller bags are then inflated in a controlled manner using a computer-based control unit. A control manifold is connected to the control unit and each of the roller bags by a separate air conduit allowing controlled bag-inflation and bag-deflation process for each roller bag. Once the pipeline is repaired, the roller bags are deflated, lowering the pipeline back to its original position in the trench.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for reeling or unreeling a pipeline having an inner corrosion-resistant metallic liner that is tightly fitted within the pipeline. To minimize or avoid wrinkling of the liner during the reeling or unreeling, a length of the pipeline is internally pressurized in a two-stage pressurizing process, and then the length of pipeline is reeled or unreeled, as the case may be. In the first stage of the pressurizing process, the length of the pipeline is filled with fluid at an elevated pressure, and in the second stage the fluid pressure is raised to a higher pressure, which may be 25 bars or more, absolute.

    Abstract: Method of positioning on the sea floor, from a floating vessel (100), an unlaid end portion (2) of a pipe that is being laid from its other end on the sea floor, comprising the steps of: (i) lowering the unlaid end portion of the pipe from a lowering device (20) on the vessel to a lowered position in the sea above the sea floor; (ii) transferring the load of the unlaid end portion of the pipe from the lowering device to means (30) for suspending the unlaid end portion of the pipe from the vessel at the lowered position in the sea; and (iii) lowering the means for suspending and the unlaid end portion of the pipe suspended thereby to the sea floor. There is also disclosed a corresponding method of recovery as well as associated apparatus. Further disclosed is a method for effecting a subsea connection between one line and an object suspended below the surface of the sea by another line, and associated apparatus.

    Abstract: A heave compensating support system is disclosed for positioning a subsea work package. The present invention provides a subsurface buoy with a lift line connected to the subsea work package and a compensating lift line having a catenary loop below its connection to the subsurface buoy on one end and connected to a surface vessel on the other end, whereby the heave compensating support system elements cooperate to establish a natural frequency for the suspended subsea work package which materially differs from the average wave frequency acting upon the surface vessel.

    Abstract: A method for severing and recovering a submerged pipeline is disclosed. The severing and recovering operation may be performed with divers or with a remotely operated vehicle. The deflated lift bag is lowered to the submerged pipeline. The deflated lift bag is positioned under the submerged pipeline and then inflated until a section of the pipeline has been raised off of the sea floor. A cutoff saw is next lowered to the raised section of the pipeline. The cutoff saw is clamped to the pipeline prior to severing the pipeline. The cutoff saw is then removed from the severed pipeline. A recovery head is lowered to the raised end of the severed pipeline. The recovery head is aligned and placed in the raised end of the severed pipeline. The recovery head is activated to establish a gripping relationship with the pipeline. A recovery cable is lowered and connected to the recovery head. The recovery cable is retrieved to recover the recovery head and the pipeline to the water surface.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the setting-down of a pipe in the sea using a setting-down line. The line is provided with sinkers at its lower end portion which tension the line and allow a reduction in the angle of general inclination of the line with the vertical and thus a reduction in the length of the line.
