  • Patent number: 11448030
    Abstract: Dynamic/static sealing of coiled tubing subsea for pipeline and well access with hydrostatic conditions up to 10,000 feet water depth while maintaining wellbore or pipeline pressures up to 10,000 psi may be achieved using a system comprising a subsea fluid source which utilizes a riserless open water coiled tubing system and an open water coiled tubing sealer to control hydrostatic pressure and fluid container pressures.

  • Patent number: 11236574
    Abstract: A subsea assist snubbing jack comprises bi-directional slip bowls and can hold light or heavy pipe loads, create clamping load internally without relying on pipe weight or the force of the subsea assist snubbing jack to develop clamping force; do not require pipe motion to unseat the clamp on the pipe; utilize smooth faced inserts that do not mark the pipe; and are suitable for subsea control by wire operation. In embodiments, it is also instrumented to directly measure the pipe weight being held by one or both slip bowls.

  • Patent number: 11230895
    Abstract: A coiled tubing string may be moved into and/or out from water by deploying an open water coiled tubing control system at sea such as via a vessel. The open water coiled tubing control system comprises a reel configured to accept a coiled tubing string, a surface injector, a reel tensioner configured to control an arch formed by the coiled tubing string between the reel and the surface injector, a controller, a subsea assist jack, and a predetermined set of a predetermined set of sensors. Motion of the surface injector and the subsea assist jack are used in part to move the coiled tubing string accepted by the reel into and/or out of a subsea well by receiving various information at the controller from the predetermined set of sensors and using the controller to resolve the received information to move the coiled tubing string into or out from the subsea well at a predetermined desired speed to achieve an outcome commanded by a single input from an operator.
