    摘要: A system and method for a fully-integrated flow control module (FI-FCM) in a hydrocarbon reservoir is disclosed. The FI-FCM is a unibody structure or a single-piece machined body having a flow meter integrated to the unibody structure. A choke is to be associated within a provision of the FI-FCM that also has an entry flow path for reservoir fluid and an exit flow path for the reservoir fluid. The entry flow path and the exit flow path inside the unibody structure or the single-piece machined body. Fluid communication is enabled between the flow meter, which is upstream relative to the choke, and an entry flow path. The choke is to control flow between the entry flow path and the exit flow path.

    摘要: A system to be used with one or more well slots in an oil and gas operation is disclosed. At least one manifold is associated with the one or more well slots and with first passage-ways for the one or more well slots. An intervention subsystem includes second passage-ways and a path selector valve. The path selector valve is selectable to associate together at least two of the second passage-ways, which enables a maintenance action to be performed for an intended well slot of the one or more well slots.

    摘要: A rigid valve block body and a method for determining fluid flow direction are disclosed. The valve block body includes a first fluid inlet and a further fluid inlet at opposed sides of a rigid valve block body. A first fluid outlet of the valve block body and a further fluid outlet of the valve block body are disposed in a spaced apart relationship. A first V-shaped fluid communication passageway comprises two passageway portions each extending within the valve block body from a first common root region proximate to the first fluid inlet. A further V-shaped fluid communication passageway comprises two further passageway portions each extending within the valve block body away from a further common root region proximate to the further fluid port. An end region of each passageway portion of the first V-shaped fluid communication passageway meets an end region of a respective passageway portion of the further V-shaped fluid communication passageway proximate to a respective fluid outlet.

    摘要: A flexible pipe for subsea transportation of production fluids, a method of manufacturing flexible pipe body and a method of providing corrosion protection to armour wires of at least one tensile armour layer of a flexible pipe having a breached pipe annulus are disclosed. The flexible pipe comprises a fluid retaining layer, an outer sheath and at least one tensile armour layer comprising a plurality of helically wound monofilament armour wires of a first material, each having a non-circular cross section with an aspect ratio of greater than 1:2 disposed between the fluid retaining layer and the outer sheath. The tensile armour layer further comprises at least one helically wound elongate anode element substantially having a cross-section aspect ratio of 1:1 and comprising a further material, interposed between armour wires, the anode element cross section having an area that is 50% or less of a corresponding area of said non-circular cross section.

    摘要: A method of securing flexible pipe body tensile armour wires in an end fitting and apparatus for terminating flexible pipe body are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of locating a respective free end region of at least one tensile armour wire of an armour layer comprising a plurality of tensile armour wires, through an opening in a rigid flange region that extends radially outwardly from an end fitting body, and securing each said at least one tensile armour wire to the rigid flange region thereby securing said at least one tensile armour wire to the end fitting body.
