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 method and apparatus are disclosed for re-terminating an end of a flexible pipe. The method comprises removing at least one original end fitting component (310, 335) from a multicomponent end fitting, secured to flexible pipe body at an end of a flexible pipe, leaving a retained portion (330, 360) of the end fitting in situ and subsequently securing at least one superseding end fitting component (310, 335) to the retained portion thereby providing a new fluid tight seal against a fluid retaining layer of the flexible pipe at a new sealing location axially displaced from an original sealing location.

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 system to test barrier pressure includes a Christmas Tree (XT) coupled to a wellbore including a downhole pressure barrier. The XT includes a first valve along a flow path and a second valve coupled to the flow path. The system further includes a testing unit that includes a vessel fluidly coupled to the flow path. The testing unit also includes a fluid mover associated with the vessel to draw fluid into or to drive fluid out of the vessel. The testing unit further includes an actuator coupled to the fluid mover to control operation of the fluid mover. The testing unit is configured to draw a volume of fluid out of the XT and to further return the volume of fluid to the XT.

摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing flow induced vibration in at least one subsea structure. The method comprises the steps of, via at least one subsea acoustic sensor (190), detecting at least one characteristic associated with acoustic energy in sea water proximate to the sensor (190), responsive to the detected characteristic, varying at least one operational parameter of a fluid flowing along a fluid flow pathway associated with a pipe member (160).
