Abstract: This invention provides a system for laying a high bending radius and low weight pipeline on the seabed comprising a subsea pipe-laying vessel comprising a moonpool and at least one coil with at least one pipeline segment to be installed wrapped around it, in which the moonpool comprises an internal baffle element adapted to smooth out the pipeline bend due to the of the pipe-laying vessel movement regarding the seabed, current, and catenary angle, where the system comprises at least one supporting element to support at least one coil allowing it to rotate to unwind the pipeline and where at least one supporting element comprises a handling system allowing the movement of at least one supporting element and at least one coil in at least one axis. A method of laying a pipeline on the seabed is also provided, performed using the described system.

Abstract: This invention relates to oil and gas exploration and comprises a direct connection system referred to as a Lower Riser Termination Assembly (LRTA), between risers made of composite material and horizontal lines installed on the seabed (flowlines). The system is applicable to a hybrid riser and its construction method allows cost reduction and system assembly/installation time optimization. The LRTA connection system is applicable to both rigid and flexible flowlines without need for any intermediate connection section/equipment between these and the risers. The construction of the system allows free vertical expansion of the risers along the entire structure. In addition, in the construction method developed for this system, the required area is significantly reduced.

Abstract: For cell size-based memory diagnostics, a processor selects a test mask based on a number of bits per memory cell in a memory. The test mask stresses cell boundaries. The processor writes the test mask to a plurality of memory cells. The processor determines interference at a first memory cell.

Abstract: A guiding system for a hybrid lifting tower includes: one or more guiding structures configured to be positioned along the hybrid lifting tower. The guiding structures comprise main parts adapted to be attachable to the hybrid lifting tower. The main parts are adapted for passage of pipes. One of the guiding structures is connected to at least one other adjacent guiding structure and/or to a tower ending structure by at least one structural connecting member. A hybrid lifting tower including the guiding system is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to oil and gas exploration and comprises a direct connection system referred to as a Lower Riser Termination Assembly (LRTA), between risers made of composite material and horizontal lines installed on the seabed (flowlines). The system is applicable to a hybrid riser and its construction method allows cost reduction and system assembly/installation time optimization. The LRTA connection system is applicable to both rigid and flexible flowlines without need for any intermediate connection section/equipment between these and the risers. Another important feature of the presented system is the fact that its construction allows free vertical expansion of the risers along the entire structure. In addition, while, in the state of the art, the conventional methods require a large assembly and construction area, in the construction method developed for this system, the required area is significantly reduced, approximately 10 times smaller than that required for known construction methods.

Abstract: This invention relates to a guiding system in a hybrid lifting tower, comprising: one or more guiding structures (2) positioned along a lifting tower (1), wherein the guiding structures (2) comprise main parts adapted to be attachable to the lifting tower structure (1), wherein the main parts are adapted for the passage of pipes (3, 5), wherein a guiding structure (2) is connected to at least one other adjacent guiding structure (2) and/or to a tower ending structure (7) by at least one structural connecting member (6). The invention also provides a hybrid lifting tower (1) comprising the above described system.

Abstract: An apparatus for laying pipe from a vessel is disclosed. The apparatus includes a traveling working table that can be lowered to allow clearance for horizontal movement of a tensioner over an in-line structure. Another embodiment employs a main working table, a tensioner positioned above the main working table, and an auxiliary working table positioned below the main working table. The auxiliary working table can be lowered to accommodate an in-line structure, which lies in a gap extending from the tensioner through the level of the main working table to the level of the auxiliary working table. The apparatus enables the tensioner to be mounted lower on the vessel to benefit stability and cost and to facilitate retrofit of the apparatus to existing vessels.
