  • Patent number: 9068424
    Abstract: A system for transferring fluids from a free-standing riser to a surface vessel comprises a first valve assembly including a first valve spool and a first isolation valve configured to control the flow of fluids through the first valve spool. In addition, the system comprises a second valve assembly releasably coupled to the first valve assembly with a hydraulically actuated connector. The second valve assembly includes a second valve spool and a second isolation valve configured to control the flow of fluids through the second valve spool. Further, the system comprises a deployment/retrieval rigging coupled to the first valve assembly and configured to suspend the first valve assembly and the second valve assembly from the surface vessel. Each isolation valve has an open position allowing fluid flow therethrough and a closed position restricting fluid flow therethrough, and each isolation valve is biased to the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20080059272
    Abstract: Fleet vehicles are brought into a service provider to have various services performed. The service provider accesses an automated work authorization system and provides an identification of the service provider, the vehicle, the service to be performed and their associated costs. The system processes the request to determine if the requested service is necessary or appropriate for this specific vehicle based on the current status of the vehicle as well as that vehicle's service history. In addition, the cost of the service is analyzed to determine if it is appropriate. The system can then automatically generate a work authorization and communicate the work authorization to the service provider. If the system is unable to fully process the request, the call can be transferred to a human technical assistant for further processing. All of the information gathered by the system is passed to the technical assistant and automatically populates an interface used by the technical assistant.
