Patent number: 9243478Abstract: A piping system for housing system components for regulating the flow of fluid therethrough is provided. The piping system includes an inner small diameter length of piping through which hot fluids flow, an outer larger diameter length of piping surrounded by cold fluid, and an annulus between the small and larger diameter piping in which the system components are received. Insulation material extends about a predetermined section of the small diameter length of piping for restricting heat transfer therefrom to the system components in the annulus and allowing heat transfer from the system components in the annulus to the outer piping.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Quangen Du, John Yarnold, Matthew Niemeyer, Baptiste Germond

Patent number: 8839868Abstract: A technique enables protection of subsea wells. The technique employs a subsea test tree designed to ensure control over the well in a variety of situations. The subsea test tree is formed with at least one shut-off valve to protect against unwanted release of fluids from the subsea test tree. The subsea test tree also is coupled with and controlled by a control system having a subsea control module mounted to an interior mandrel.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Joseph D. Scranton, Tauna Leonardi, John Skaggs, John Yarnold, John Kerr

Patent number: 8779614Abstract: A technique facilitates powering of devices at a subsea location without requiring routing of hydraulic pressure and/or electric signals through an umbilical from a surface location. A fluid flow, such as an injection chemical fluid flow, is at least partially routed through a flow converter disposed at a subsea location. The flow converter converts energy from the fluid flow to energy used to operate a power generation device. The power generation device may be designed to generate electrical, hydraulic, or other suitable power which is utilized at the subsea location.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: John Yarnold, Jason Gandolfi, Larry W. Phillips, Matt W. Niemeyer, Javier Cascudo

Patent number: 8725302Abstract: A control system is for completion installation, intervention and testing activities at a subsea location. The control system has a first control circuit at a surface location; a subsea test tree located in a blowout preventer at the subsea location, the second control circuit located within a riser extending from the blowout preventer towards the surface location; and a plurality of sensors monitoring characteristics of the subsea location. The second control circuit communicates with the first control circuit and receives the characteristics of the subsea location. The second control circuit also controls electrically powered subsea valves based upon commands from the first control circuit and based upon the characteristics of the subsea location to complete a completion installation, intervention, and/or testing activity.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Matt W. Niemeyer, John Yarnold, Jason Gandolfi, Javier Cascudo, Larry W. Phillips
