Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to subsea wells and, more particularly, to a system and method for deploying subsea and downhole tool strings into subsea wells.
- a vessel specifically designed for the task.
- the vessel used during installation generally includes a derrick positioned on the vessel and a moon pool formed in the vessel.
- the derrick deploys the subsea modules and downhole strings through the moon pool and lowers these components to the seabed for connection to the subsea wellhead.
- the daily operating costs associated with the use of semi-submersible rigs with a moon pool are high, and it is now recognized that a need exists for more cost effective methods of deploying subsea and downhole equipment.
- presently disclosed embodiments are directed to a system for deploying well equipment to a subsea well.
- the system includes a vessel and a deployment frame disposed on the vessel.
- the deployment frame includes a protruding section extending as a cantilever beyond an external edge of the vessel.
- the protruding section includes an aperture formed therein to facilitate construction of the well equipment through the protruding section.
- the system also includes an actuation assembly coupled to the protruding section to selectively transition the protruding section to a collapsed, split, or retracted orientation out of a deployment path of the well equipment.
- presently disclosed embodiments are directed to a method including constructing well equipment including at least a downhole tool string over an external edge of a vessel.
- the well equipment is supported over the external edge via a protruding section of a deployment frame disposed on the vessel, and the protruding section includes an aperture through which at least a portion of the well equipment is disposed.
- the method also includes suspending the well equipment from a deployment cable, splitting, retracting, or collapsing the protruding section of the deployment frame out of a path of the well equipment, and lowering the well equipment toward a subsea wellhead in a single trip.

- Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for deploying and retrieving subsea/downhole tubulars or tool strings alone or together with subsea modules in a single trip from a multi-purpose vessel (MPV) without a moon-pool and derrick.
- MPV multi-purpose vessel
- subsea modules and subsea/downhole tubulars or tool strings are deployed through a moon pool of a semi-submersible vessel equipped with a derrick or tower for lowering the equipment through the moon pool.
- the present disclosure provides a method where a flexible deployment system is used to deploy subsea/downhole tubulars or tool strings and/or subsea modules from a MPV without requiring a moon pool and a derrick or tower.
- the deployment system may include the MPV and a deployment frame disposed on the vessel.
- the deployment frame includes a protruding section extending as a cantilever beyond an external edge of the vessel, and the protruding section includes an aperture (i.e., mouse hole aperture) formed therein to facilitate construction of the well equipment, such as a well intervention system, through the protruding section.
- the deployment system also includes an actuation assembly coupled to the protruding section to selectively transition the protruding section to a collapsed, split, or retracted orientation out of a deployment path of the well equipment.
- the deployment system may facilitate easy construction of a well intervention system including at least a string of downhole tools connected together end to end.
- the well intervention system may also include a subsea module through which the downhole tool string is landed.
- the subsea module may be supported by the protruding section while the downhole tool string is constructed through the internal bore of the subsea module and the aperture on the protruding section.
- the well intervention system may be suspended from a deployment cable on the vessel and lifted out of engagement with the protruding section.
- the protruding section may then be split, retracted, or collapsed out of the path of the well intervention system, and the system may be lowered toward the subsea wellhead in a single trip.
- downlines may also be connected from spools located on the vessel through an extendable sheave frame and connected to the well intervention system prior to deployment of the intervention system.
- the disclosed approach enables greater flexibility for an end user in terms of what type of vessel can be used to deploy tools and modules to a subsea wellhead.
- the end user may have a larger fleet of vessels to choose from to deploy a well intervention system, since vessels other than the conventional semi-submersibles may be used.
- the day rates associated with operating the disclosed MPV to deploy tools and modules will be less than those associated with the larger conventional semi-submersibles.
- the transit times associated with moving a MPV to a desired location to perform well interventions or plug and abandonment operations are less than those associated with a moon pool and derrick equipped vessel. As such, the overall operation may be less time consuming and, therefore, more cost effective for the end user.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a deployment system 10 including a multi-purpose vessel (MPV) 11 that may be used to deploy an intervention system 12 for use in a subsea well.
- the MPV 11 does not include a derrick, tower, or moon pool.
- the intervention system 12 includes at least a downhole tool string to be positioned inside the subsea well.
- the intervention system 12 may also include any desired number of subsea modules and/or a subsea tool string in addition to the downhole tool string used to perform a particular downhole (i.e., in- well) operation.
- the intervention system 12 may be utilized for any desired type of subsea well operations such as, for example, plug and abandonment operations, among others.
- the illustrated intervention system 12 may have certain functionalities. However, it should be noted that the deployment system 10 and method of operation is not limited to deploying only the subsea/downhole equipment illustrated in the following figures. Other types, numbers, and arrangements of the illustrated components of the intervention system 12 may be deployed in other embodiments.
- the intervention system 12 may include a subsea module 14 and an in-well tool string 16 (broken into first and second tool string components 16A and 16B).
- Multiple downlines 18A-18C may be disposed around corresponding reels on the vessel 11 and hooked up to the well intervention system 12 before or after deployment of the system 12.
- These downlines 18A-18C may include fluid, control, or communication downlines designed to communicate various media (e.g., electrical signals, power, hydraulic fluid, air, fiber optics, etc.) to the subsea well and downhole/subsea equipment disposed in or hooked up to the well.
- the downlines 18A and 18C may be utilized for pumping a medium into the subsea well and outer annuli to allow for circulation of the well.
- the downline 18B may be used for control and monitoring purposes of the subsea module 14 and/or the tool string 16.
- the subsea module 14 may be designed to be installed directly onto a subsea wellhead on the seabed, on a subsea tree coupled to the subsea wellhead, or on an already installed intervention system (e.g., a riserless intervention system installed either on the wellhead or on a subsea tree coupled to the wellhead). Although only one subsea module 14 is illustrated in the intervention system 12 of FIG. 1, other numbers of subsea modules 14 may be deployed in other embodiments. In such cases, the subsea modules 14 may be connected together on top of a subsea wellhead or subsea tree.
- the subsea module 14 When installed, the subsea module 14 (or modules) may provide sufficient barriers towards a re-entry mandrel that it is connected to, and as such the subsea module 14 may be furnished with isolation devices to isolate the bores connected to fluid downlines (e.g., 18A and 18C).
- fluid downlines e.g., 18A and 18C
- in-well tool string 16 or downhole tool string may refer to a string of multiple tool components (e.g., 16A and 16B) connected end to end to and designed to perform a specific operation when disposed into a subsea wellbore.
- tool string components 16A and 16B are illustrated in FIG. 1, other intervention systems 12 may include larger numbers of components (e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more total) depending on the ultimate length and functionality of the tool string 16.
- the tool string 16, once assembled, may be suspended from the subsea module 14 into the well via a tool hanger.
- the tool string 16 may be furnished with one or more inflatable elements used to seal off various zones within the well.
- the tool string 16 may include one or more perforating guns or other components designed to allow for circulation of fluids from the internal bore of the tool string 16 into the outer annuli of the well surrounding the tool string 16.
- the tool string 16 may have flow paths aligned with the bores of the subsea module 14 such that fluid flow can be directed from the downline 18A, through the subsea module 14 and into the tool string 16, then back to the MPV 11 via the downline 18C.
- FIG. 2 illustrates another type of intervention system 12 that may be deployed using the MPV 11 and deployment equipment disposed thereon.
- the intervention system 12 may include the same components of the intervention system 12 of FIG. 1, except for the subsea module. That is, the intervention system 12 may include an in-well tool string 16 (broken into first and second tool string components 16A and 16B). As shown, the tool string component 16B may include a pre-installed tool hanger 170, which may be used to support the fully assembled downhole tool string 16 within the wellhead, tree, or other intervention system.
- multiple downlines 18A-18C may be connected to the intervention system 12 of FIG. 2 before or after deployment of the intervention system 12. As described above, these downlines 18A-18C may include fluid, control, or communication downlines designed to communicate various media (e.g., electrical signals, power, hydraulic fluid, air, etc.) to the subsea well and the tool string disposed in the well.
- the in-well tool string 16 or downhole tool string may be a string of multiple tool components (e.g., 16A and 16B) connected end to end to and designed to perform a specific operation when disposed into a subsea wellbore. Although two tool string components 16A and 16B are illustrated, other intervention systems 12 may include larger numbers of components (e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more total) depending on the ultimate length of the tool string 16.
- the tool string 16, once assembled, may be lowered into the well and seated in the well via a tool hanger.
- the tool string 16 may be furnished with one or more inflatable elements used to seal off various zones within the well.
- the tool string 16 may include one or more perforating guns or other components designed to allow for circulation of fluids.
- the tool string 16 may have flow paths that can be connected to various downlines 18A-18C extending from the vessel 11.
- FIG. 22 provides a more generalized illustration of a well system 12 that may be deployed using the deployment system.
- the well system 12 may include the downhole tool string 16 (constructed from multiple tool components coupled together end to end) and a coupling 19 disposed at an upper end of the tool string 16.
- the coupling 19 is designed to support the tool string 16 and interface directly with the subsea wellhead, subsea tree, spool, or other intervention system into which the tool string 16 is deployed.
- the coupling 19 may be a tool hanger (e.g., 170 of FIG. 2), a tubing hanger, a cap, a subsea module (e.g., 14 of FIG.
- the coupling 19 may be pre-installed on a tool component of the downhole tool string 16, such as is the case with the tool hanger 170 on the tool component 16B of the well system 12 in FIG. 2. In other instances, the coupling 19 may be initially provided as a separate component from the downhole tool string 16, such as the subsea module 14 of FIG. 1. When the coupling 19 is a separate component from the tool string 16, the coupling 19 may have a bore formed therethrough (e.g., bore 36 of FIG. 1) that is designed to receive and interface with the tool string 16.
- the following description regarding deploying a well system 12 using the disclosed system may be applied to a well system 12 having any type or arrangement of downhole tool string 16 and associated coupling 19.
- the disclosed MPV 11 may be used to deploy any of the well systems 12 of FIGS. 1, 2, and 22.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show the topside spread of the MPV 11 before a deployment operation begins.
- the MPV 11 may be equipped with a standard vessel crane 20 and available deck space 22 to lay out the other deployment system equipment described herein.
- the deck 22 may be furnished with a skidding system that can be used to move heavy equipment around the deck 22 without having to lift the equipment.
- the spread on the MPV 11 may include the well intervention system 12 broken into two (or more) parts (e.g., 16A, 16B, and/or 14), a deployment cable reel 24, and multiple downlines 18A-18C disposed around reels connected to suitable tanks, pumps, control systems, or other equipment (26A-26C).
- the spread may include a circulating pump 26A coupled to the downline 18 A, a control system 26B coupled to the downline 18B, and a return fluid tank 26C coupled to the downline 18C.
- the spread on the MPV 11 includes a deployment frame 28.
- the deployment frame 28 may be connected to the skidding system on the deck 22, thereby allowing the deployment frame 28 to be selectively extended over a side 30 of the vessel 11.
- the deployment frame 28 may similarly be retracted back into a position fully supported by the deck 22 (i.e., not extending over the side 30 of the vessel 11 as shown) using the skidding system on the deck 22.
- the deployment frame 28 When in the extended mode, the deployment frame 28 includes a protruding section 32 extending out over the edge or side 30 of the vessel 11. In this position, the protruding section 32 is cantilevered over the edge 30 of the vessel 11. In the extended mode, the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 may be large enough to fit the subsea module 14 of FIG. 1 thereon with a sufficient clearance from the side 30 of the vessel 11.
- the protruding section 32 may be equipped with a mouse hole aperture (or "mouse hole”) 34 formed therethrough.
- the mouse hole 34 may have an internal diameter that is approximately equivalent to the internal diameter of a vertical bore 36 through the subsea module 14.
- the mouse hole 34 may have an internal diameter that is larger than an outer diameter of the tool string 16 so that the tool string 16 may be lowered through the mouse hole 34.
- the mouse hole 34 may be used when constructing the tool string 16 either alone or within the subsea module 14 disposed on the protruding section 32.
- the mouse hole 34 may enable construction of long tool strings 16 (which would otherwise require the use of a derrick/tower and moon pool) using the MPV 11.
- the protruding section 32 is selectively movable between an extended position (as shown in FIG. 1) where the protruding section 32 is disposed beneath and supporting a section of the intervention system 12 and a collapsed, retracted, or split orientation where the protruding section 32 is not disposed beneath the section of the intervention system.
- the protruding section 32 is effectively removed from a deployment path of the intervention system 12 to enable the intervention system 12 to be lowered toward a subsea wellhead.
- the protruding section 32 may include a suitable guiding system designed to allow controllable landing of the subsea module 14 onto the protruding section 32 when the module 14 is lifted by the crane 20.
- the protruding section 32 may include one or more guide features 38 disposed thereon and designed to interface directly with complementary guide features (not shown) on the bottom of the subsea module 14.
- guide features 38 may include vertically extending corner seats on the protruding section 32 designed to interface with corresponding corners of the subsea module 14 and direct the subsea module 14 down onto the protruding section 32 in a position where the bore 36 of the module 14 is aligned with the mouse hole 34.
- FIG. 3 an example of a deck spread including a dedicated skidding system 70 on the deployment frame 28 is illustrated.
- the subsea module 14 may be initially parked on a portion of the deployment frame 28 that is disposed on the deck 22 and therefore not extending over the edge 30 of the vessel 11.
- the skidding system 70 may move the subsea module 14 from the initial position to a position on the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28, as indicated by arrow 72. In this position, the bore 36 of the subsea module 14 may be aligned with the mouse hole 34 through the protruding section 32.
- the deployment system may also include an actuation assembly (represented schematically by reference numeral 40 on the deployment frame 28 that, when activated, removes the protruding section 32 from the location directly underneath the tool string 16 and/or the subsea module 14. This may allow the tool string 16 (with or without the subsea module 14 to be deployed over the side 30 of the vessel 11.
- the actuation assembly 40 may include one or more latching mechanisms that hold the protruding section 32 in position beneath the subsea module 14 and/or tool string 16 until they are activated.
- the latching mechanisms When the latching mechanisms are activated, for example, two halves 32A and 32B of the protruding section 32 may be separated to the sides and aligned with the side 30 of the vessel 11 (as shown in FIG. 18, for example). In other instances, the latching mechanisms, upon activation, may allow the protruding section 32 to collapse upwards or downwards (as shown in FIG. 6, for example).
- the actuation assembly 40 may be an electric or hydraulic actuation assembly such as a hydraulic piston 90 that retracts the protruding section 32 into a hollow portion 92 of the deployment frame 28 adjacent the protruding section 32, as indicated by arrow 94.
- the actuation assembly 40 may merely be the skidding system on the deck 22 used to selectively retract the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 back onto the deck 22 of the vessel 11.
- the protruding section 32 has a slot 32C extending from the aperture 34 to an external edge 32' of the protruding section 32. This may allow the protruding section 32 to collapse upwards or downwards, or be retracted backwards, with a tubular or a tool string is suspended through the aperture 34.
- the deployment system 10 in the topside spread of FIGS. 1 and 2 may also include a sheave frame 110 used to direct a deployment cable and various downlines (e.g. 18A-18C) into a position for connection to and deployment with the tool string 16 and/or the subsea module 14.
- FIGS. 5A-5C illustrate the sheave frame 110 in more detail. Although shown with a subsea module 14 and downhole tool string 16 disposed on the protruding section 32 in FIG. 5A, the same sheave frame 110 may be utilized with an intervention system 12 that does not include the subsea module 14 but instead only features a downhole tool string 16.
- the sheave frame 110 may be mechanically connected to or integrated into the deployment frame 28, or the sheave frame 110 may be an entirely separate system that is installed separately from the deployment frame 28.
- One or more sheaves 112 may be connected to a crossbeam 114 of the sheave frame 110, as shown in FIGS. 5A-5C.
- the number of sheaves 112 on the crossbeam 114 may correspond directly to the number of downlines 18 to be deployed.
- One of the sheaves 112 on the sheave frame 110 may correspond to a deployment cable 116 from the deployment cable reel 24 used to lower the intervention system 12 toward the wellhead.
- the sheave frame 110 may be extendable between a retracted position and an extended position located over the protruding section 32.
- FIG. 5A shows the sheave frame 110 in this extended position.
- the sheave frame 110 In the retracted position (shown in FIG. 1), the sheave frame 110 may be lowered to a position against the deck of the vessel or the deployment frame 28, or at least to a position low enough to enable simple routing of the downlines 18 and/or deployment cable 116 through the sheaves 112.
- a hydraulic actuator 118 or other type of actuator may automatically move the sheave frame 110 from the retracted position to the extended position.
- the exit points of the sheaves 112 may be aligned with termination points on the subsea module 14 and/or tool string 16 that are supported by the protruding section 32. That way the ends 120 of the cable 116 and/or downlines 18 routed from their respective reels and through the sheaves 112 may be connected to the intervention system 12 at positions that keep the cable/downlines substantially vertical and untangled during deployment.
- the sheave frame 110 may be furnished with a compensated deployment winch (i.e., deployment cable reel) 24 to allow for safe descent and landing of the complete intervention system 12 during deployment and subsea equipment installation.
- the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 may be equipped with a suitable support structure 122, such as a cage or fence, disposed around one or more external edges of the protruding section 32.
- This support structure 122 may serve multiple functions. For example, when the protruding section 32 is disposed in the horizontal position of FIG. 5 A, the support structure 122 may facilitate a safe working environment for operators who are standing on the protruding section 32 to make connections between various components of the intervention system 12, the deployment cable 116, and/or the downlines 18.
- the support structure 122 may be utilized to guide the intervention system 12 downward as it is lowered via the deployment cable 116 over the external edge 30 of the vessel 11.
- FIG. 6 shows the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 collapsed vertically downward.
- the protruding section 32 may be hinged to an adjacent portion of the deployment frame 28 and held in the horizontal position of FIG. 5 A via a latching mechanism 130. Upon removal of the latching mechanism 130, however, the protruding section 32 may collapse downward as shown in FIG. 6 to an approximately vertical position against the side 30 of the vessel 11.
- the support structure 122 around the edges of the protruding section 32 may guide the subsea module 14 as the deployment cable 116 lowers the intervention system 12 downward proximate the side 30 of the vessel 11.
- the support structure 122 may minimize sideways motion of the subsea module 14 so that the module 14 does not impact the side 30 of the vessel 11.
- the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 may include a path for the tool string 16 to escape through when the protruding section 32 folds down (or is retracted).
- the protruding section 32 may have an opening extending from the mouse hole 34 outwards to an end of the protruding section.
- An obstructing member may be placed across the opening while the tool string 16 is being built through the mouse hole 34 to keep the tool string 16 in the mouse hole 34, and the obstructing member may be removed to expose the opening before the downwards (or retracting) motion of the protruding section 32 begins. That way, the tool string 16 does not get in the way of and prevent the protruding section 32 from collapsing.
- deployment method is not limited to the exact sequence described below.
- the order in which functions are performed in the deployment method is not limited to the order of the sequence described below.
- the deployment method may include constructing the well intervention system 12 over the edge 30 of the vessel 11 while supporting the intervention system 12 on the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28.
- FIGS. 7-12 illustrated this construction for an intervention system 12 that includes a downhole tool string 16 and a subsea module 14.
- the vessel 11 and components of the deployment system 10 may be generally laid out as shown in FIG. 1.
- the deployment frame 28 is in the extended mode
- the sheave frame 110 is in the retracted mode.
- the deployment cable reel 24 and downline reels are positioned on the deck 22 behind the deployment frame 28 such that the exit points on the reels are aligned with respective sheaves on the sheave frame 110.
- Construction of the intervention system 12 may first involve extending the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 and disposing the subsea module 14 on the protruding section 32.
- the crane 20 on the vessel 11 may lift the subsea module 14 from a position parked on the deck 22 and position the subsea module 14 on the protruding section 32 such that the internal bore 36 of the subsea module 14 is aligned with the mouse hole 34.
- a skidding system e.g., 70 of FIG.
- the skidding system 70 may be used to bring the subsea module 14 onto the protruding section 32 such that the internal bore 36 of the module 14 is aligned with the mouse hole 34.
- a guiding system e.g., guide features 38 interfacing with the subsea module 14 may help with the exact positioning of the module 14 relative to the mouse hole 34.
- FIG. 8 illustrates the subsea module 14 landed on the protruding section 32 with its bore 36 fully aligned with the mouse hole 34.
- Construction of the intervention system 12 may then involve constructing the tool string 16 through the internal bore 36 of the subsea module 14 and mouse hole 34 by connecting the multiple tubular components 16A and 16B end to end. This process is illustrated in FIGS. 8-11.
- a lower section 16A of the tool string 16 may be picked up by the vessel crane 20 and lifted above the subsea module 14, as shown in FIG. 8.
- the lower section 16A of the tool string 16 may then be lowered into the bore 36 of the subsea module 14.
- the mouse hole 34 allows the tool string 16 to pass through the subsea module 14 and the deployment frame 28.
- a hang-off plate 150 (or C-plate) may be installed on the re-entry mandrel or hub of the subsea module 14. This hang-off plate 150 allows the lower section 16A of the tool string 16 to be hung from the subsea module 14 in an intermediate position (shown in FIG. 9) before the rest of the tool string 16 is connected.
- an upper section 16B of the tool string 16 may than be picked up using the vessel crane 20 and lifted above the subsea module 14, while the lower section 16A is held stationary by the hang-off plate 150.
- the upper section 16B of the tool string 16 may be furnished with a tool hanger 170 that can be landed and locked inside the bore 36 of the subsea module 14.
- the vessel crane 20 may position the upper section 16B of the tool string directly above the lower section 16A such that a bottom end of the upper section 16B is touching a top end of the lower section 16 A.
- the upper and lower sections 16B and 16A may be made up utilizing suitable tooling equipment while the vessel crane 20 (and possibly tugger wires on the vessel 11) holds the upper section 16B in place.
- the assembled tool string 16 may be lifted slightly to remove loads from the hang-off plate 150 before the plate 150 is removed. Once the hang-off plate 150 is removed, the tool string 16 may be supported entirely by the vessel crane 20. From here, the connected tool string 16 may be lowered into the subsea module 14.
- other tool strings may include three or more separate tubular components that are connected together through the mouse hole 34 of the protruding section 32.
- the partially constructed tool string may be lowered through the subsea module 14 and the hang-off plate 150 may be positioned around the top section of the partially constructed tool string to support the weight of the string before the next tubular component can be added using the crane 20.
- the steps illustrated in FIGS. 9-11 may be repeated multiple times until the tool string 16 is fully assembled.
- the tool string 16 may be lowered via the crane 20 into the subsea module 14.
- the tool hanger 170 mounted to the upper section 16B of the tool string 16 may interface with a guiding system used to orient the tool string 16 properly inside the subsea module 14.
- the guiding system may be located internally to the subsea module 14 (e.g., inside the spool wall of the subsea module 14) or may be a separate device located externally to the subsea module 14.
- the guiding system may be used to align the tool string 16 with applicable interfaces on the subsea module 14. Such interfaces may include, for example, control and monitoring line interfaces and/or bore alignment interfaces across the tool hanger 170 and the spool wall of the subsea module 14.
- a deployment tool 190 may be installed on the re-entry hub of the subsea module 14, as shown in FIG. 12.
- FIGS. 7-12 only represent one series of steps that may be used to construct the intervention system 12 to be deployed to a subsea well.
- Other types of intervention systems 12 including at least a downhole tool string 16 may be constructed using the disclosed deployment system as well.
- FIGS. 13-14 illustrate a process for constructing an intervention system 12 that includes just a tool string 16 without any subsea modules coupled thereto. Using the protruding section 32 with the mouse hole 34 may enable the system to deploy a tool string 16 over the side 30 of the vessel 11 and through the water column when the overall length of the assembled tool string 16 surpasses the lifting capability of the vessel crane 20.
- the mouse hole 34 through the protruding section 32 may be used as a hang-off point for connecting the tool string components 16A and 16B.
- the mouse hole 34 may be equipped with a hang-off device 210 used to support and/or connect the tool string components.
- the hang-off device 210 may include a conventional hang-off plate (or C-plate) similar to the hang-off plate 150 described with reference to FIG. 9, or the hang-off device 210 may include a set of slips.
- the hang-off device 210 may include a spider disposed on the protruding section and used to automatically couple an upper end of the tool string component in the mouse hole 34 to a lower end of the next tool string component to be connected.
- the system may include a gimbal installed on the mouse hole 34 to provide a certain pitch/roll/yaw freedom of movement for the tool string in response to vessel motions.
- the multiple tubular components (e.g., 16A and 16B) that make up the tool string 16 may be individually lifted up by the vessel crane 20 and hung off piece by piece from the hang-off device 210 (e.g., hang-off plate, slips, or spider).
- the hang-off device 210 e.g., hang-off plate, slips, or spider.
- a lower section 16A may be picked up by the vessel crane 20 and positioned over the mouse hole 34 on the protruding section 32, as shown in FIG. 13.
- the crane 20 may lower the tool section 16A through the mouse hole 34, and before the upper end of the section 16A passes through the protruding section 32, the hang-off device 210 may be installed or actuated on the protruding section to hold the lower section 16A in place.
- the lower section 16A may be picked up by the vessel crane 20, positioned over the mouse hole 34, and lowered through the mouse hole 34, the spider, slips, and/or gimbal. Before the upper end of the section 16A passes through the protruding section, the spider or slips may be actuated closed around the lower section 16A to hold the lower section 16A in place.
- the crane 20 then disconnects from the lower section 16A and retrieves the upper section 16B, as shown in FIG. 14.
- the crane 20 may position the upper section directly above the lower section 16A, and the upper and lower sections 16B and 16A may be made up with suitable tooling equipment (e.g., manually operated tooling or the spider) while the vessel crane 20 (and possibly tugger wires on the vessel 11) holds the upper section 16B in place.
- suitable tooling equipment e.g., manually operated tooling or the spider
- the assembled tool 16 may be lifted slightly to remove loads from the hang-off device 210 before the device 210 is removed, or the hang-off device 210 may be actuated open to release the tool 16, which is supported by the crane 20. Once the hang-off device 210 is removed or actuated open, the tool string 16 may be supported entirely by the vessel crane 20. From here, the process of FIGS. 13-14 may be repeated to add additional lengths of tool components to the tool string 16 until the tool string 16 is fully assembled.
- intervention system 12 (which may include the tool string 16 with or without the subsea module 14) is fully constructed, it may be desirable to connect one or more downlines 18, umbilicals, and/or a deployment cable 116 to the intervention system 12.
- This process is illustrated in FIGS. 15-17.
- the illustrated intervention system 12 includes the downhole tool string 16 landed in and supported by the subsea module 14, the same method may be utilized for connecting various auxiliary lines to just the tool string 16 if a subsea module is not used.
- the subsea module 14 and/or tool string 16 may be equipped with suitable connection points to interface with the end terminations on the downlines 18.
- Each of the downlines 18 may be routed through the sheaves 112 mounted in the sheave frame 110, as shown in FIG. 15.
- the sheaves 1 12 may be disassembled from the sheave frame 110 to allow for simpler assembly of the end terminations on the various downlines 18.
- the fame 110 With the sheaves 112 assembled in the sheave frame 110, the fame 110 may then be pivoted from the retracted position of FIG. 15 to the extended position of FIG. 16 to align the exit points of each sheave 112 with the connection points on the subsea module 14 (and/or tool string 16).
- the downlines 18 and deployment cable 116 may then be connected to a top surface of the intervention system 12 (e.g., subsea module 14 and/or tool string 16).
- FIG. 17 shows a side view of the sheave frame 110 in the extended mode above the intervention system 12.
- the deployment cable 116 may come from a compensated winch with the cable 116 routed through a sheave 112 in the sheave frame 110.
- the sheave 112 with the cable 116 routed therethrough may be aligned directly above the centerline and bore 36 of the subsea module 14, so that the intervention system 12 may be lowered smoothly via the deployment cable 116.
- the deployment cable 116 may be aligned with the downhole tool string 16, the mouse hole 34, and the hub of the subsea module 14.
- a cable associated with the vessel crane 20 (and not routed through the sheave frame 110) may be connected to the top of the intervention system 12 and used to deploy the system 12.
- the intervention system 12 may be lifted up from the protruding section 32 to remove loads on the deployment frame 28.
- this may involve lifting the tool string 16 via the deployment cable 116 (or crane 20) and removing or actuating open the hang-off device (e.g., 210 of FIG. 14).
- the guiding system e.g., 38 of FIG. 1 may keep the subsea module 14 in place relative to the side 30 of the vessel 11 during this lift.
- the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 may be split in half as shown in FIG. 18. This may involve rotating two opposing halves 32A and 32B of the protruding section 32 in opposite directions away from each other and into contact with the side 30 of the vessel 11.
- the protruding section 32 may be collapsed upwards or downwards (e.g., FIG. 6) or retracted out of the way (e.g., FIG. 4). This moves the protruding section 32 out of a deployment path of the intervention system 12. As this point, the system 12 is ready for deployment.
- the complete assembly including the intervention system 12 and any connected downlines 18 or umbilicals may then be deployed through the splash zone and water column from the side of the vessel 11 in a single trip, as shown in FIG. 19.
- the deployment cable 116 may provide a controlled descent of the intervention system 12 toward a subsea wellhead 250 located at the seabed.
- a remote operated vehicle (ROV) 252 may assist during the deployment process to help guide and/or attach the intervention system 12 to the subsea wellhead 250.
- ROV remote operated vehicle
- FIG. 20 illustrates the ROV 252 installing the intervention system 12 within the subsea wellhead 250 as the intervention system 12 is being lowered.
- the ROV 252 may install a separable funnel 270 on the wellhead 250.
- the ROV 252 may guide the lower tip 272 of the tool string 16 inside the main bore of the wellhead 250 and inside an innermost casing hanger.
- the funnel 270 may help to guide the lower tip 272 of the tool string 16 into the wellhead 250 as well.
- the subsea module 14 may be continuously lowered towards the wellhead 250, and the compensation system on a topside winch (e.g., 24) or vessel crane (e.g., 20) may allow for a controllable descent during the landing sequence.
- the separable funnel 270 may be removed by the ROV 252 before the subsea module 14 approaches the wellhead 250, and the subsea module 14 may land on the wellhead 250.
- the wellhead connector of the subsea module 14 may be locked by the ROV 252 or remotely through a control system (e.g., 26B) communicating to the subsea module through one of the downlines.
- FIG. 20 illustrates the ROV 252 guiding the intervention system 12 to land directly into the subsea wellhead 250
- the ROV 252 may be similarly used to guide the intervention system 12 into a subsea tree coupled to the subsea wellhead 250 or into another intervention system that has previously been installed on the subsea wellhead 250 or subsea tree.
- FIG. 21 illustrates the intervention system 12 installed in the subsea wellhead 250 with all downlines 18 running to the intervention system 12.
- the deployment tool 190 may stay connected to the re-entry mandrel of the subsea module 14 during operation of the intervention system 12 to provide debris protection and to avoid having to deploy the tool 190 again when the system 12 is ready to be pulled to the surface.
- the deployment method described above with reference to FIGS. 7-21 may be reversible to enable efficient retrieval of the intervention system 12 to the surface.
- the wellhead connector on the subsea module 14 may be unlocked using the ROV 252 or remotely using the control system 26B.
- the deployment cable 116 may be connected to the deployment tool 190, and the intervention system 12 may be pulled to the surface in a single trip.
- the subsea module 14 may be lifted along the side 30 of the vessel 11 to a height where the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 can be re-extended back to a position under the subsea module 14 to facilitate a safe landing.
- the downlines 18 may be disconnected from the module 14 along with the deployment tool 190.
- the vessel crane 20 may lift the tool hanger 170 up from the subsea module 14 and hang off the tool string 16 at the same location as during installation via a hang-off plate 150.
- the tool string 16 may then be disconnected to enable removal of the upper section 16B of the tool 16.
- the vessel crane 20 may individually pick up any intermediate sections of the tool string 16 as they are disconnected and eventually the lower section 16A hanging from the hang-off plate 150 to remove it from the subsea module 14.
- the hang-off plate 150 may be removed and the subsea module 14 may be lifted to a suitable location on the deck 22 or skidded inward on the deployment frame 28.
- the protruding frame 28 may be retracted so that the protruding section is located entirely on the deck 22 of the vessel 11.
- the method may involve pulling the tool string 16 to the surface, extending the protruding section 32 of the deployment frame 28 back into position around the tool string 16, and installing or actuating the hang-off device 210 on the mouse hole 34 of the protruding section 28 to support the tool string 16 while the deployment cable 1 16 and downlines 18 are disconnected.
- the tool string 16 may be disconnected (via manually operated tool or a spider) to enable removal of the upper section 16B of the tool string 16.
- the vessel crane 20 may individually pick up any intermediate sections of the tool string 16 as they are disconnected and eventually the lower section 16A hanging from the hang-off device 210.
- the method described above involves coupling the downlines 18 to the intervention system 12 (e.g., tool string 16 and/or subsea module 14) at the surface and then deploying the system with the downlines 18 to the wellhead 250 in a single trip
- other methods may involve deploying the downlines 18 separately from the intervention system 12.
- the downlines 18 and the subsea module 14 (or tool string 16) With wet mateable connections, the downlines 18 may be deployed at a later stage and connected/disconnected subsea. This may be particularly useful when deploying the intervention system 12 in deeper waters, as the separate deployment of the downlines 18 helps to avoid entanglement of the downlines 18 prior to connection of the intervention system 12 to the wellhead 250.
- the disclosed deployment system therefore provides increased flexibility for how and where downlines (and/or umbilicals) can be connected to the intervention system 12.
- the disclosed deployment system 10 and method may enable an intervention system 12 including at least a downhole tool string 16 to be deployed in a single trip, which decreases the overall operational time to provide a subsea well intervention.
- the system may be pulled in a single trip as well.
- Using the above described deployment method may allow an operator to deploy longer tool strings 16 without the need for a moon pool and derrick, as the tool strings 16 may be constructed over the side of the vessel 11 using the protruding section 32 with the mouse hole 34 and a standard vessel crane 20.
- the intervention system 12 may be deployed from a MPV 11 without a moon pool, which greatly increases the types of vessels 11 that can be used to deploy such a system 12.
- the disclosed deployment system 10 may enable connections between the tool string 16 and the subsea module 14 to be made topside (e.g., on the protruding section 32). This allows operators to visually inspect that everything is connected properly, and change-out of equipment may be performed swiftly in the event of a malfunctioning piece of equipment.
- the well equipment is a well completion.
- the well completion may comprise an elongate tubular built from sections of tubular components, for installation into the well.
- the tubular can thus be built through the mouse hole aperture 34 on the protruding section 32, equivalently as described above, and then lowered down and installed in the well.
- the well completion may also comprise a module, such as a valve tree.
- the valve tree may be connected to the tubular at its top end, and lowered down for installation in the well and on the wellhead.
- this allows a well completion to be built and installed in a single run, for example from a multi-purpose vessel.
