  • Patent number: 10119630
    Abstract: A method for securing flowline segments in a flowline is disclosed. A high tensile strength restraining line is extended along the length of the flowline. At each joint between segments, the restraining line is knotted around the flowline on either one or both sides of the flowline joint. The knots secure each flowline segment such that in the case of a fail of a flowline joint, the disconnected flowline segments are maintained in place.
