Abstract: A pressure protection system (32) has a docking manifold (44) to which an upstream portion (36) and a downstream portion (38) of a pipeline (34) are connected. Also connected to the docking manifold (44) is a retrievable module (64) which has a conduit circuit (66) that connects the upstream and downstream portions of the pipeline (34) enabling fluid to flow between the two portions (36, 38). The conduit circuit contains two fail-safe valves (72) which are controlled by a control module (80) within the retrievable module, and two pressure transmitters (76) co-operable with the control module (80). When wither pressure transmitter (76) senses fluid pressure in the conduit circuit (66) to be above a threshold value then it causes the control module (80) to effect closure of the valves (72) preventing the pressure rise from reaching the downstream portion (38) of the pipeline (34).

Abstract: A mixture of fluids is conveyed from a hydrocarbon reservoir and comprises gas and slugs of liquid. The mixture is passed through a slug catcher vessel (12) which temporarily retains the slugs of liquid. The gas is passed through a gas compressor (18) and the resulting pressurised gas is then conveyed to a remote location. When a liquid slug is detected in the slug catcher vessel (12), liquid is drawn from the vessel by an injector device (24) and entrained into the flow of gas downstream of the gas compressor (18) until the level of the interface between the gas and liquid in the vessel reaches a sufficiently low level. The system may alternatively be configured to accommodate a flow of liquid containing slugs of gas.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for assisting the flow of production fluid from a hydrocarbon wellbore (4) to a remote host facility (16) including a separation facility (6) situated close to the wellbore (4). Jetting fluid is supplied initially from the host facility (16) to a downhole jet pump (14) via the separation facility (6) for assisting the flow of production fluid from the wellbore (4) to the separation facility (6) where the resulting mixture enters one of two parallel gravity separation chambers (32). Separated jetting fluid (60) is recirculated to the jet pump (14) via a pump (38) and production fluid is routed to the host facility via a production pipeline (18). A jetting fluid supply pipe (20) can be of relatively small diameter and the production pipeline (18) does not have to be enlarged to accommodate jetting fluid returned to the host facility (16).
