Abstract: A method and a system are for detecting at least one leak or at least one leak property in an underground pipeline, the underground pipeline being arranged near an underground conduit which is either a sewage conduit or a surface water conduit. The method has the steps of: providing at least one optical sensing fiber that extends inside and along underground conduit; obtaining distributed acoustic sensing data from the optical sensing fiber; and using the obtained distributed acoustic sensing data to detect the leak the at least one leak property in the underground pipeline.

Abstract: A flexible elongate member has at least one optical sensing fiber and is configured to be at least partially submerged or float in waste fluid inside a sewage pipeline or channel for obtaining distributed measurement data along the waste fluid flow. An apparatus is for use in obtaining distributed measurement data from a sewage pipeline or channel. The apparatus has a flexible elongate member in and deployment means for deploying the flexible elongate member in the waste fluid of the sewage pipeline or channel. Furthermore, a method is for obtaining distributed sensor measurements along a sewage pipeline or channel and a method is for deploying a flexible elongate member in a sewage pipeline or channel.

Abstract: A method for conducting a subsea well intervention at a subsea well, and a related system. In particular embodiments, an assembly is provided comprising a wireline drum pressure container unit, a lubricator package having a lock chamber tube enclosing a tool string and having at least one valve in a vertical bore, and a connector used to connect the assembly to a well control package on a well head of the well. In such an embodiment, the method can include displacing well fluid in a cavity between the valve of the lubricator package and a valve of the well control package, using a clean fluid, while the valve of the lubricator package is closed. The assembly can then be disconnected from said well control package at the connector and retrieved to the surface, whereby contamination of seawater due to disconnection can be reduced or minimized.

Abstract: A petroleum well intervention winch system includes a high pressure confining housing for a drum for a rope to a tool string. The pressure confining housing has a connector with an aperture for the rope to a top of a tool string gate chamber on vertical bore BOP valves on a wellhead on the petroleum well. The rope runs through the aperture via a capstan to the drum. The capstan is driven by a first motor through a first high pressure proof magnetic coupling across a wall of the housing. The drum is driven by a second motor through a second high pressure proof magnetic coupling across the wall of the housing. The capstan is subject to a load tension from the rope and is provided with a hold tension on the rope from the drum. The second motor exerts a constant hold tension on the rope via the drum.

Abstract: A reel assembly for supplying a continuous composite tubing of a type used in oilfield operations, which reel assembly comprises a stand onto which a spool of continuous composite tubing is lowered and a drive coupling for transmitting rotational force from the stand to the spool. A removable cage is connected with the stand. The continuous composite tubing is arranged around the outer periphery of the spool, in a U-formed housing.
