  • Patent number: 11950389
    Abstract: A subsea variable speed drive apparatus comprising a pressure resistant container (90) comprising a curved wall section having a curved, internal surface (90a); and a variable speed drive comprising at least one power electronics module (50) arranged inside the container and held at a predetermined ambient pressure. The at least one power electronics module is mounted on a heatsink (40) which is mounted on the internal surface, the heatsink comprising a curved surface (40b) contacting the internal surface and having a radius of curvature corresponding to the radius of curvature of the internal surface. A subsea hydrocarbon fluid pumping system comprising such subsea variable speed drive apparatuses and a related method are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10557579
    Abstract: The present application refers to a connection for connecting hydraulic tubing as used by subsea devices, by using a shaped memory alloy material. The sleeve connection made of a shaped memory alloy material is originally manufactured with an internal diameter shorter than the external diameter of the tubing, internally has a cover material made of dielectric material and, most internally, has a layer of an anti-corrosive material which is contiguous to the external face of said tubing The layer of an anti-corrosive material internally has protruding portions designed to grasp the external surface of the tubing, forming streaks.

  • Patent number: 10519760
    Abstract: A recoverable module is configured for subsea environments, and is suitable for use in the processing of fluids linked to the oil industry, and subsea fluid separation equipment or equipment involving any process performed through liners. The recoverable module for subsea environments includes a separating vessel provided with an inlet and two underflow and overflow or tailing outlets, in addition to a cover which has a set of removable liners fastened to its interior.
