  • MARINE WELL CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20150204156
    Abstract: A system and method for rapidly responding to and regaining control of uncontrolled flow from offshore hydrocarbon wells, that includes a subsea containment assembly, optionally including a capture caisson assembly installed around the assembly, riser systems for production of hydrocarbons to capture vessels on the surface of the sea, and modularized subsystems facilitating communication between and fluid flow from the subsea containment assembly through the riser to the capture vessel.

  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING AN INTERVENTION IN A RISER
    Publication number: 20110052328
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for performing an intervention in a flexible riser that extends between topside and subsea locations. The method generally includes providing a composite tube and inserting a leading end of the composite tube into the flexible riser so that the composite tube extends through the flexible riser from the topside location toward the subsea location. The composite tube can be configured to deliver a material into the flexible riser, e.g., to remove a blockage formed in the riser.
