Abstract: A riser disconnect/reconnect system having a disconnection package (RDP) and a modified lower marine riser package (LMRP) are provided for quick disconnection of the marine drilling riser (MDR) from the LMRP to facilitate access to the LMRP or BOP stack. The RDP includes a flex joint and a hydraulically-actuated release connector (RC) with a connecting mandrel that engages a modified LMRP. In an emergency, the RDP is disconnected from the LMRP allowing access to the BOP stack for intervention. The RDP may be disconnected from the LMRP for recovery of the LMRP or BOP stack to the surface for repair or maintenance without recovering the MDR. The RC joins the flex joint to the uppermost annular blowout preventer in the LMRP. The release connector can be used in a standard or inverted position. Also provided are structural cages with complementary stab plates allowing access to various bypass ports and controls.

Abstract: An aquatic motor mounting system enables the adjustment of a boat motor with respect to its hull. The motor is attached to swivel mount that enables the motor to rotate about a first axis and pivot about a second axis generally perpendicular to the first. The system uses tongue and groove concepts to provide strength and durability while enabling the adjustment of the motor.

Abstract: A fluid contaminate removal system having a module with an elongated body having frame extending from a first end to a second end; a first roller secured to the first end of the frame; a second roller secured to the second end of the frame; a belt secured to the first roller and the second roller, the belt having a plurality of wiper integral with and protruding from the belt, the belt is configured to rotate around both the first roller and the second roller; a lower shroud secured to the frame; a compartment formed between the belt and the lower shroud; a first opening formed by the lower shroud and the first end of the frame; a second opening formed by the lower shroud and the second end of the frame.

Abstract: A drilling package for an offshore wellbore having a wellhead, said drilling package comprising in a functional order a shear module situated above said wellhead and in fluid communication with said wellbore; a blowout preventer in fluid communication with the shear module; a lower marine riser package in fluid communication with the blowout preventer; and a bypass valve and port in a normal fluid path upstream of a well closure device that is actuated to divert flow from the normal path through the blowout preventer to an alternative flow path.

Abstract: Provided is a modified two-stroke engine with an intake system having a plurality of removable inserts and a cylinder liner for each cylinder bore. The inserts fit within specific cavities in the engine's cylinder bores and are aligned with corresponding intake ports, upper transfer, lower transfer and central boost ports, in each liner. Certain embodiments may include an exhaust insert for the exhaust port. The exhaust insert can be a single piece or a set of three. Also provided is an engine having a billet aluminum block, forged as one piece, cylinder bores, insert cavities, removable intake inserts, pucks to cover the cylinder bores, a cylinder head base with a ring and a cylinder head cap. The ring prevents the separation of liner from water jacket. The power output of the engine is regulated by varying the size of the inserts. Additionally, methods for assembling, tuning and modifying an engine's horsepower are provided.

Abstract: A riser disconnect/reconnect system including a disconnection package (RDP) and a modified lower marine riser package (LMRP) are provided for quick disconnection of the marine drilling riser (MDR) from the LMRP. The RDP includes a flex joint and a release connector (RC) with a mandrel that engages a modified LMRP. In an emergency event, the RDP is disconnected from the LMRP allowing access to the BOP stack for emergency intervention. In routine drilling operations, the RDP is disconnected from the LMRP facilitating the recovery of the LMRP or BOP stack to the surface for repair or maintenance without recovering the MDR. The RC joins the flex joint to the uppermost annular blowout preventer in the LMRP. The RC is configured for use in a standard or inverted position. Also provided is a mechanical locking connector, a resident ROV and sonar technology and methods of using same with the RDP.

Abstract: A containment system having a containment dome and a seal plate which is attached to an oil wellhead casing or riser to prevent oil spills and contamination when an oil leak occurs. The containment dome is sealed to the seal plate by a compression mechanism so that oil will not leak from the containment dome. The seal plate may be part of a drilling package having a lower marine riser package, a blowout preventer, and a shear module below the blowout preventer. The containment dome can provide a wellhead patch to a wellhead system wherein the wellhead patch can interface with a capping stack. Chemicals can be injected into the containment dome to prevent hydrates from forming. All aspects of controlling and operating an oil wellhead can be performed through the containment dome and seal plate, and all aspects of installation, regulation, and control of the containment dome can be performed by remote operating vehicles under water.
