  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING AN ELECTRICALLY OPERATED FUNCTION WITH A RUNNING TOOL IN A SUBSEA WELLHEAD
    Publication number: 20130075103
    Abstract: A subsea running tool receives electric potential from a control unit located at a platform through a tubular string having an electrically conductive wire formed in tubular wall of the tubular string. The running tool provides at least one electrically operated function for setting a subsea wellhead component. The running tool is then run on the tubular string from a surface platform to a location within a wellhead. Electric potential is then supplied to the electrically conductive wire by a control unit at the platform to operate the electrically operated function of the running tool to set the subsea wellhead component.
