  • Patent number: 7565931
    Abstract: A dual bore well jumper establishing fluid communication between a subsea well and a subsea flowline. The dual bore well jumper comprises a first pipe comprising a first pipe bore and a second pipe comprising a second pipe bore, the second pipe being located within the first pipe bore or side-by side with the first pipe. The dual bore well jumper further comprises termination couplings at each for establishing fluid communication with either the subsea flowline or the subsea well. The first and second pipe bores isolate fluid flow in the first pipe bore from fluid flow in the second pipe bore. The dual bore well jumper may optionally further comprise junction assemblies allowing a change in fluid flow direction. The dual bore well jumper may further optionally comprise a bore access module attached to a junction assembly for selective fluid communication with the first and second bores.

  • Patent number: 7219740
    Abstract: A well production and multi-purpose intervention access hub for flowing fluids from multiple wells to a host facility through a flowline. The hub comprises a production header module and a flowline header module configured for fluid communication with the flowline. The production header module and the flowline header module connect to form a hub bore that is in fluid communication with the flowline and extends through the utility interface. A utility module may connect with the hub for fluid communication and mechanical tool intervention access with the hub bore. The hub comprises valves for isolating the fluid communication between a well the hub bore from the fluid communication between another well and the hub bore. The valves also allow fluid communication between an isolated well and the utility module upon connection of the utility module to the hub.
