  • Patent number: 9869998
    Abstract: A remote control system for controlling a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) may comprise an ROV wireless transceiver operatively in communication with one or more wireless transceivers deployed at a distance from the ROV. The remote wireless transceivers are operatively in communication with one or more ROV consoles and ROV may be operated from the remote location by operatively connecting the first ROV console to a second wireless data transceiver; establishing wireless data communications between the second wireless data transceiver and the ROV wireless transceiver; and controlling a predetermined ROV function at the ROV from the first ROV console via communications established between the second wireless data transceiver and the ROV wireless transceiver. Two or more such remote wireless data transceivers and/or remote ROV consoles may be provided for redundancy, ancillary functions, or the like.

  • Patent number: 9505473
    Abstract: A remotely operated vehicle integrated system comprises one or more remotely operated vehicles (ROV) configured to be deployed substantially continuously subsea and one or more a tether management systems configured to be deployed substantially continuously subsea. The ROVs and tether management systems are typically deployed substantially continuously subsea where a first signal interface, e.g. for power and/or data, is operatively connecting the signal source deployed substantially permanently subsea and one or more of the ROVs operatively connected the signal source.

  • Patent number: 6039120
    Abstract: An apparatus for use in subsea well completion systems is provided. The apparatus has an isolation sleeve and an extension sleeve. The isolation sleeve has a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis defined between the first end and the second end. The isolation sleeve has a generally tubular shape. The extension sleeve has a first end attached to the second end of the isolation sleeve to form an assembly comprising the isolation sleeve and the extension sleeve, a second end, and a longitudinal axis that is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the isolation sleeve. Like the isolation sleeve, the extension sleeve has a generally tubular shape.

  • Patent number: 5975210
    Abstract: A well completion system for a side valve tree that has a precision cut low profile helix that can be used in completing a wellbore where the bore is substantially curved is provided. The well completion system has a typical spool body assembly having an inside surface defining a vertical bore extending therethrough and having at least a lateral production fluid outlet port. The spool body assembly has a helix is positioned at the lower end. The helix has a tubular member having a generally cylindrical outer surface defining an outer diameter and a generally cylindrical inner surface defining an inner diameter, an upper end and a lower end. The tubular member has an organ pipe-shaped cut in the upper end so that the upper end is generally elliptically shaped to form a pair of arcuate ramps which meet at an apex at the upper end and at a longitudinally extending slot near the lower end and a means for attaching the helix to the spool body assembly.
