Abstract: Systems and methods for coupling subsea tubular members together are provided. An apparatus may be used to properly orient and/or provide communication between a first subsea tubular member that is being landed on a second subsea tubular member. An apparatus for coupling subsea tubular members may include an alignment sub and a corresponding alignment member. The alignment sub includes: a generally cylindrical body having one or more fluid, electric, or fiber optic lines extending therethrough, one or more couplings coupled to at least one end of the alignment sub, and an orientation profile disposed on a surface of the alignment sub. The alignment member has a profile designed to interface with the orientation profile of the alignment sub. One of the alignment sub and the alignment member remains stationary while the other rotates relative to the stationary structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for landing a tubing hanger in a wellhead and then orienting a tree (or spool, or flowline connection body) relative to the tubing hanger while landing the tree on the wellhead are provided. This alignment is accomplished without the use of either a tubing spool or a BOP stack with an orientation pin. The tubing hanger alignment devices may be used to orientate the tree as the tree is landed so that the couplings and stabs between the tree and the tubing hanger line up with each other just at the moment of landing.

Abstract: A transfer case stand for securely holding and supporting a transfer case of a vehicle from a fixed location for allowing ready access by a mechanic comprising a cylindrical casing having a base end and a tip end; a ring positioned above the casing at a location such that the central axis of the ring is essentially perpendicular to the central axis of the casing, the ring having a plurality of holes disposed therearound for receiving bolts of a transfer case of a vehicle; a bracing mechanism coupled between the casing and ring; and a positionable coupling mechanism for coupling the base end of the casing to a fixed location such that the central axis of the ring is held at a selected angular orientation, thereby allowing a transfer case coupled thereto be held at the same selected orientation.
