20100307760 | SUBSEA WIRELINE INTERVENTION SYSTEM - The present invention is a system for subsea well intervention on a vessel with a boom above a well tree. The system includes a subsea deployment reel, a subsea wireline reel, and an intervention tool. The deployment reel has a deployment wireline with an integrated wire rope tether, a grooved drum, a drum motor means, and a control unit. One end of the deployment reel is fixedly attached to a launch and recovery system on the boom of the vessel, and other end of the deployment reel is attached to the wireline reel. The reels and tool lower into the water from the boom for a set depth above the tree. The subsea wireline reel has deployment wireline, a wireline drum, a wireline drum motor means, and a wireline control unit. The wireline reel detaches downward from the deployment reel, after the two reels have stopped lowering. Then, the intervention tool is delivered a final distance to engage the subsea tree. | 12-09-2010 |
