  • Patent number: 9784063
    Abstract: A subsea production system for a well including a subsea production tree, a tubing hanger, and a production tubing extending into the well and supported by the tubing hanger. A downhole equipment suspension system includes a suspension head supported directly or indirectly by the production tree above and separately from the tubing hanger. The suspension system also includes downhole equipment inside the production tubing below the tubing hanger and a suspension line extending through the tubing hanger vertical production bore and the production tree vertical bore. The suspension line suspends the downhole equipment from the suspension head.

  • Patent number: 9752391
    Abstract: A guide and protection bushing assembly is mountable in a well production system (e.g., a subsea tree) having an intervention member (e.g., a blowout preventer). The assembly guides a string of components to a cable hanger sealing surface disposed in the production system without damaging the sealing surface. The assembly includes a body having a first end engaging an intervention member, a second end engaging the production system, an outer surface, and an inner through passage that expands radially at the first end to form a funnel shape. In some embodiments, the assembly may further include rollers, leaf springs, or a protective sleeve coupled to biasing members, a plurality of centering disks having a plurality of flexible flaps separated by spacers, and/or centering devices with fins separated by spacers.

  • Publication number: 20150354308
    Abstract: A downhole equipment suspension and lateral power system for a subsea well including a suspension apparatus which is supportable above the tubing hanger and within the internal bore of the subsea production system. A power penetrator is laterally coupleable to the suspension apparatus. A cable is extendable from the suspension apparatus to suspend and power downhole equipment, such as an electric submersible pump. A communication line is extendable from the suspension apparatus to provide power to the downhole equipment.

  • Publication number: 20150330194
    Abstract: A subsea production system for a subsea well including a tubing hanger to suspend production tubing extending into the subsea well. Downhole equipment is locatable inside the production tubing in the subsea well. The system includes an adaptor spool including an internal bore. A suspension apparatus is supportable above the tubing hanger and within the internal bore of the adaptor spool. A power penetrator is laterally coupleable to the suspension apparatus. A suspension line is extendable from the suspension apparatus to suspend the downhole equipment. A communication line is extendable from the suspension apparatus to provide power to the downhole equipment.

  • Patent number: 9169709
    Abstract: A spool module for a subsea well production tree and system is presented. The spool module is similar to traditional process modules, except that the spool module includes all its components and their conduits inside one body (or block). This module includes retrievable components used for production and annulus flow lines into one package. The spool module includes the production choke, annulus choke, and conduit bores integral in the block. The spool module includes all of these elements machined into one body having no additional conduits or piping outside of the body. The spool module may also be used in connection with a subsea tree during production of a well, or with several wells on a template or as part of a manifold.
