Abstract: A motion compensator system for use on a floating vessel including a compensator cylinder assembly, a guide cylinder assembly, an upper carriage affixed to an upper end of both cylinder assemblies, a lower carriage affixed to a lower end of both cylinder assemblies, and a safety shutoff assembly. The compensator cylinder assembly includes three or more compensator cylinders. The safety shutoff assembly includes a compensator manifold and three or more compensator valves. Each compensator valve is in fluid communication with a pressurized fluid source through the compensator manifold and in fluid communication with a lower chamber of one of the compensator cylinders. The safety shutoff assembly is configured to isolate a failed compensator cylinder by setting the associated compensator valve to a vent setting and continuing normal operation of the remaining compensator cylinders. The motion compensator system optionally includes a lock system for securing the system in a retracted position.

Abstract: A filtering apparatus includes a filtering screen removably positioned within an inner cavity of a screen chamber. The screen includes a frame portion at a first end and a screen portion extending from the frame portion to a second end. The frame portion includes an end block and frame members extending from the end block to the screen portion, with the frame members defining an aperture. The screen portion includes an outer wall extending from a fluid inlet to an end cap at the second end. The outer wall includes a plurality of openings therethrough. The screen chamber includes a removable end cover with a key configured to engage a notch of the screen to rotationally lock the screen and the end cover. A screen manifold may include a first fluid path including the screen chamber, and further including a bypass fluid path having a bypass valve.

Abstract: A motion compensating support assembly provides a support framework, attachable to well platform, floating vessel or other underlying structure, for supporting well intervention operations. The motion compensation function can be manually controlled, or set to passive compensation mode. Hydraulic clamp assemblies can connect the compensating well intervention support assembly to structural member(s) of an underlying support surface or substructure.
