Abstract: A diverter for redirecting drilling fluid in oilfield applications includes a support housing and a diverter body disposed therein. A lateral opening defined in the diverter body permits fluid communication between an interior passage of the diverter body and a lateral now outlet defined by the support housing. A pair of flow-line seals disposed radially between the support housing and the diverter body includes a flow-line seal disposed on axially upper and lower sides of the lateral flow outlet. The flow-line seals include a pair of substantially rigid support rings and first and second sealing bodies adhered thereto. The first sealing body is affixed to an inner diameter wall of the first and second support rings and extends to axially upper and lower walls of the support rings. The second sealing body is bonded axially between the support rings.

Abstract: A line termination assembly for a riser string has a ring adapter mounted to a slip joint and a ring body mounted on top of the ring adapter. The ring adapter radially aligns with the ring body, which forms an inner diameter for receiving the slip joint. The ring body also has a discontinuity for radial access to the inner diameter, such that the ring body is circumferentially discontinuous. The discontinuity defines a chord dimension that exceeds the outer diameter of the slip joint, such that the slip joint may move radially through the discontinuity and into the inner diameter during assembly and disassembly of the system. Fluid bearings and tension rings are mounted to the slip joint and are axially spaced apart from the ring adapter and the ring body.
