ROTATING SUBSEA DIVERTER

摘要

A rotating diverter (108) for isolating fluid in a well (30) from other flui d above the well (30) is provided. The rotating diverter (108) includes a housing body (162) which has a bore (168) running through it. A retrievable spindle assembly (178) which includes a spindle (178) and a bearing assembly (184) is disposed in the bore (168). The bearing assembly (184) supports the spindle (178) for rotation. The spindle (178) is adapted to receive and seal around a tubular member, and rotation of the tubular member rotates the spindle (178) within the bore (168). A lock member (176) is disposed in the housing body (162) to secure the retrievable spindle assembly (178) to the housing body (162).
