  • Patent number: 11808115
    Abstract: A subsea distribution equipment assembly includes a modular structure with a block having a metallic structure and panels that allow the configuration for several pieces of equipment, in such a way that both the hydraulic instrumentation and the electrical instrumentation are also modularized. A method of assembly a subsea distribution equipment assembly includes transporting a first block and a second block using a crane of a vessel, aligning and connecting eye joints installed on each of the first and second blocks, connecting a foundation to the first and second blocks using the crane and a trolley, and installing an umbilical termination assembly jumper between the first and second blocks.

  • Publication number: 20210207456
    Abstract: The present invention deals with the modularization of SDA components, as well as the assembly, installation, and repair thereof. The blocks (10) have a metallic structure (11) and panels (13) that allow the configuration for several equipment, in such a way that both the hydraulic instrumentation and the electrical instrumentation are also modularized. Modularization, according to the present invention, allows the configuration assembly of equipment (40) and (50) on the vessel (85), thus reducing costs in relation to installations of the art. In addition, the equipment is already installed with the umbilicals connected, which allows the modularization to be carried out using the crane (83) of the vessel (85) or even a buoy (95).
