    摘要: A riser connector is provided for connecting a riser to a wellhead assembly having a bore therethrough. The connector includes a housing having a first and a second end. The first end of the housing has an opening and is adapted for mounting to the wellhead assembly with the opening in communication with the bore of the wellhead assembly. The second end has a first opening connectable to the riser having a diameter at least the same as the inner diameter of the riser, and a second opening, having a diameter at least substantially the same as the diameter of the bore of the wellhead assembly. The housing further includes a first conduit connecting the opening in the first end of the housing to the first opening in the second end of the housing, and a second conduit connecting the opening in the first end of the housing to the second opening in the second end of the housing. In use, first well operations are conducted through the riser in the conventional manner. Second well operations are conducted using open water techniques and access the wellhead assembly and the well through the second conduit in the connector without the need to disconnect the riser from the connector. The riser connector is of particular use with risers having an inner diameter less than the diameter of the bore of the wellhead assembly, the second well operations being conducted using equipment which is too large to pass through the small bore riser.

    摘要: A multi-pressure flange is disclosed that includes a first set of fasteners comprising four fasteners in a first rectangular pattern for attachment in a first pressure rating and a second set of fasteners comprising four fasteners in a second rectangular pattern in which the first rectangular pattern is perpendicular to the second rectangular pattern. The second set of fasteners is selectively combinable with the first set of fasteners for attachment in a higher second pressure rating. The flange may include a recess to receive sealing component and a receptacle configured to receive a pipe fitting. Systems and methods including the multi-pressure flange are also disclosed.
