  • Patent number: 11162329
    Abstract: A method of positioning an end of a pipeline on a subsea structure includes the steps of: (a) providing a channel on the subsea structure, the channel having an open end adjacent to a receptacle on the subsea structure, (b) providing a pipeline, (c) attaching a connector to an end of the pipeline, (d) laying the end of the pipeline with the connector attached into the channel, and (e) pulling the pipeline end along the channel such that the connector exits the open end of the channel and is received by the receptacle. A channel is used in the method and a subsea structure is used wherein the channel is provided on the upper surface of the subsea structure.

  • Publication number: 20210062937
    Abstract: An end connection assembly (200) for pull-in and coupling of a flexible tubular pipe to an inboard hub of a subsea structure using a tie-in tool, which flexible tubular 234 pipe comprises a plurality of superposed flexible layers (210, 214, 218) of metal materials and plastics materials, wherein the end connection assembly comprises an end fitting (202) which is connected to an end section (204) of the flexible tubular pipe in a sealed manner forming a termination of the flexible tubular pipe in which at least one layer of said plurality of flexible layers is anchored; an engagement surface (226a, 226b) for interacting with engagement means of the tie-in tool; and a collet connector assembly allowing releasable coupling of the end connection assembly to the inboard hub. The engagement surface is arranged in the end fitting radially outside of and circumferentially enclosing the at least one flexible layer.

  • Publication number: 20200032619
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of positioning an end (210) of a pipeline (200) on a subsea structure (300). The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a channel (305) on the subsea structure, the channel having an open end adjacent to a receptacle (335) on the subsea structure, (b) providing a pipeline, (c) attaching a connector (325) to an end of the pipeline, (d) laying the end of the pipeline with the connector attached into the channel, and (e) pulling the pipeline end along the channel such that the connector exits the open end of the channel and is received by the receptacle. The invention also relates to a channel for use in the method and a subsea structure wherein the channel is provided on the upper surface of the subsea structure.
