Patent number: 12025573Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for measuring submerged surfaces. Embodiments include a measurement apparatus including a main frame, a source positioned outside a pipe and connected to the main frame, and a detector positioned outside the pipe at a location diametrically opposite the source and connected to the main frame. The source may transmit a first amount of radiation. The detector may receive a second amount of radiation, determine a composition of the pipe based on the first and second amounts of radiation, and send at least one measurement signal. A control canister positioned on the main frame or on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) attached to the apparatus may receive the at least one measurement signal from the detector and convey the at least one measurement signal to software located topside.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2023Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: DELTA SUBSEA LLCInventors: Scott P. Dingman, Roger Warnock, Alessandro Vagata

Patent number: 9234400Abstract: A subsea pump system is adapted to close a hydraulic ram of a blowout preventer. The subsea pump system has at least a first pump and a second pump configured to pump drive fluid from a source to the hydraulic ram. The system has a controller configured to automatically select at least one of the first and second pumps for pumping the drive fluid wherein at least the first pump is selected at a lower fluid pressure range and at least the second pump is selected at a higher fluid pressure range. A method of operating a pump system and an intervention skid for a pump system are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Subsea 7 LimitedInventors: Roger Warnock, Jr., Calum Maxwell Stirling, James Colley, Alan William Doe
