A MODULAR, DISTRIBUTED, ROV RETRIEVABLE SUBSEA CONTROL SYSTEM, ASSOCIATED DEEPWATER SUBSEA BLOWOUT PREVENTER STACK CONFIGURATION, AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

A distributed function control module adapted for use in a modular blowout preventer (BOP) stack for use subsea comprises a housing, adapted to be manipulated by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) with a stab portion adapted to be received into a BOP stack control module receiver. Control electronics, adapted to control a predetermined function with respect to the BOP stack, are disposed within the housing and connected to one or more controllable devices by a wet mateable connector interface.
