Apparatus and Method for Treating Subsea Fluid Conduits |
摘要 |
An apparatus and method for collecting fluid during flushing of a subsea fluid conduit such as a subsea umbilical. The apparatus comprises a vessel configured to receive fluid from the subsea fluid conduit, and a first connector for fluidly coupling the vessel to the subsea flowline. In one aspect, the apparatus comprises a second connector for fluidly coupling the apparatus to a subsea production system and a flow control system. The flow control system is configured to operate in a first mode in which flushing fluid is directed from the subsea fluid conduit into the vessel, and is configured to operate in a second mode of operation in which the fluid is diverted from the subsea flowline to the subsea production system. In another aspect, the apparatus is configured to provide a detectable signal to surface when a pre-determined volume of flushing fluid has been received in the vessel. |

1. An apparatus for collecting fluid during flushing of a subsea fluid conduit, the apparatus comprising:
a vessel configured to receive fluid from a subsea fluid conduit to be flushed; a first connector for fluidly coupling the vessel to the subsea fluid conduit; a second connector for fluidly coupling the apparatus to a subsea production system; and a flow control system; wherein the flow control system is configured to operate in a first mode in which flushing fluid is directed from the subsea fluid conduit into the vessel, and is configured to operate in a second mode of operation in which the fluid is diverted from the subsea flowline to the subsea production system. |
