    摘要: A riser system and method including a bore submerged surface package of valves, a cross over assembly with a high pressure-low pressure connector connected to the bore submerged surface package of valves, a high pressure insert, and a telescoping flow tube. The riser system also include a high pressure bore subsea stack, a low pressure slip joint, a tension ring, a flex joint, a diverter, a mandrel capable of interfacing with the high pressure-low pressure connector, a high pressure mandrel crossover and at least one high pressure insert riser joint, a high pressure-low pressure latch, a telescoping flow tube telescopic conduit, at least one telescoping flow tube latch, a telescoping flow tube low pressure flex joint, a telescoping flow tube main housing, or a rotating control device.

    摘要: Flexible riser hang-off for rigid risers deployed offshore is provided and called a spoolflex hang-off. The spoolflex hang-off utilizes combined torsional and bending flexibilities of a rigid tubular jumper deployed between a top of the riser and a floater piping. The rigid jumper transports fluids, contains the fluid pressure and accommodates angular deflections of the riser. The riser top is suspended from a pivoting arrangement that transfers the riser tension to the floater structure. The rigid jumper can be made of titanium or of other metallic or nonmetallic materials.The flexible riser hang-off provided has rotational stiffness independent on riser tension. Low static and fatigue bending loads on the riser and on the floater structure result. The hang-off allows large riser deflection angles.

    摘要: An enhanced riser control system may employ electrical tensioners coupled to a drilling riser by wires. The electrical tensioners may provide quick response to a tension controller to handle positioning of the drilling riser. The electrical tensioners of the enhanced riser control system may be combined with hydro-pneumatic tensioners in a riser hybrid tensioning system. A controller within the enhanced riser control system may be configured to distribute tension to electrical tensioners and to control electrical tensioners to adjust the length of the first and second wires. Energy from an electrical tensioner may be transferred to an energy storage system or to power dissipaters for dissipating the energy generated by the electrical tensioner. The energy transferred from an electrical tensioner may be energy that has been generated by the electrical tensioner.

    摘要: A connection system for connecting a structure fluid line on an offshore structure with a riser fluid line on a subsea riser. The system includes a connector attachable to the subsea riser and a gooseneck comprising a gooseneck connector in fluid communication with the structure fluid line. A frame is supportable on the connector and comprises a slide releasably engageable with the gooseneck and moveable within the frame. The slide is remotely controllable to move the gooseneck connector into and out of a connected position to establish or break fluid communication between the structure fluid line and the riser fluid line.
