Technical Solutions Group

The Subsea 7 IRT Technical Solutions group is a leader in innovative intervention

technology, providing specialist engineering expertise that guarantees support to our
remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services and construction/IRM activities.
The group has pioneered the design and operation of intervention systems and has long
recognised that simply replacing a diver by an ROV fitted with a manipulator is not the
optimum solution to underwater intervention.
This recognition has resulted in the development of a range of tooling packages and
interfaces, many of which have become industry standards, adopted by operators in a
wide variety of locations across the full range of water depths.
With a wide range of skills and expertise, the capability of the group can be summarised
as follows:
Project management and multi-disciplined engineering teams covering:
- Mechanical design
- Electrical/electronic design
- Software design and development
- Structural design for diverless connection systems
Remote systems design, manufacture and operation including:
- Remotely operated vehicles and launch systems
- Standard tooling systems and interfaces (API 17D and 17H)
- Control systems
- Diverless pipeline repair systems
- Diverless connection systems
- Component replacement systems
- Diverless pig/launcher receiver systems
- Stabplates
Dedicated fully equipped onshore bases support the company's varied underwater
activities and are also the manufacturing and servicing centres. The latest in subsea
technology is applied to the design, build and maintenance of remotely operated
equipment.
There now exists a wide range of standard and specialised intervention systems for
performing almost every subsea task that previously could only have been undertaken by
divers. The Subsea 7 IRT Technical Solutions group is a leader in the development and
application of these systems.
As a result, we are able to offer a range of products and solutions to meet the
requirements and specifications of our clients, from straightforward interface components
to more complex installation systems, for safe, cost effective diverless operations in a
range of water depths.

component change-out tool

The Component Change-Out Tool (CCOT) provides a means of

replacing ROV retrievable components (e.g. control pods, insert
chokes) and can be deployed on guidelines or as a fly-to-place tool.
As a fly-to-place system it is deployed to the seabed in a basket.
The ROV c/w interface skid will then dock onto the CCOT, activate
hydraulically operated latches to secure itself and then deploy an
electro-hydraulic stabplate connector to establish control of the
CCOT functions. The ROV will then unlock the tool from the basket,
fly it to place and dock it onto the subsea structure.
To remain neutrally buoyant during ROV fly-to-place excursions, the
tool deploys and retrieves exchange weights on the structure
interface to an equivalent weight of the component.
The ROV Interface Skid consists of a neutrally buoyant aluminium
alloy space frame containing a hydraulic motor/pump transfer unit,
12 litre over-pressure compensated oil reservoir, interface skid to
CCOT docking latches, docking latch Emergency Disconnect and
Release System (EDRS) and multi-port electro-hydraulic stabplate
upper half. The interface skid is fitted with sufficient buoyancy to
make it neutrally buoyant in sea water rated for 600msw.
The tooling control pod is located in the CCOT structure and linked
to the main ROV pod via the electro-hydraulic stabplate. This
multiplexer pod manages all the signals to and from the CCOT.

tool deployment unit (tdu), dual point

Recognising that simply replacing the diver by an ROV fitted with a

manipulator was not the optimum solution to underwater
intervention, Subsea 7 developed the Tool Deployment Unit (TDU).
Deployed from a Workclass ROV, the system has been designed to
afford an ROV operator with little experience of intervention the best
chance of completing a task quickly and efficiently.
Using docking probes, rather than attaching with a grabber or
suction pad, the system is able to locate and stabilise the ROV in a
known position and precisely deploy a dedicated tool via an XYZ
mechanism.
The Tool Deployment Unit is self contained, being equipped with a
dedicated buoyancy module and control system. Interfacing to the
ROV is through mounting brackets, two hydraulic lines and one
electrical cable. The ROV and Tool Deployment Unit are deployed
using a conventional ROV Launch System.

tool deployment unit (tdu), single-docking

The single-docking Tool Deployment Unit (TDU) is used to locate

and stabilise the ROV during subsea intervention tasks.
The single-docking TDU can be configured for numerous
intervention tasks using either standard or purpose-built tooling.
The tool is light-weight and simple to interface with most workclass
ROVs. It requires a minimum of three hydraulic control functions
from the host ROV.
A hydraulic control panel is supplied with the system. This
accurately sets pressure and flow requirements for the X-Y carriage,
docking probe and the fitted intervention tooling as required for the
task.
The docking probe has a fail-safe release feature which will
automatically release and allow recovery of the ROV in a power
failure situation.

drill cuttings removal system

A new platform based drill cuttings recovery system has been

developed and tested by Subsea 7 on BP's NW Hutton. The
system involves the deployment of a 130 kW dredge pump system
and 4" OD recovery hose back to the topside processing plant.
A workclass ROV with a specially configured skid unit is then used
in multiple roles - not only does it hook up the delivery and suction
hoses to the dredge pump, it can travel within the radius of the
suction hose (45m for this application) to the work site. The ROV
manipulates the dredge head within the cuttings pile using its
camera and sonar systems.
An eyeball ROV, whilst not essential, is an invaluable aid to guiding
the operators. In this particular application, the system is designed
to recover up to 100 m3/hr to match the re-injection capacity on the
platform. Solids ratio was up to 1:6 but a reasonable average would
be 10%.
The system was specifically designed to be installed on the NW
Hutton platform. However it has a modular format, which would
allow relatively simple adjustment for use on the older platforms
where the volume of cuttings is a significant concern.

SPECIFICATIONS

drill cuttings removal system

Workclass ROV, umbilical and control system
ROV complete with underslung skid for suction hose connection and additional system hydraulics.
Dredge head
The dredge head can have a simple suction head or an interchangeable rotating cutter for harder conditions.
Deployment system
A-frame or telescopic crane
Delivery rate
75 - 100 m3/hr to the processing plant 70 m above sea level. Note the flow rate can be readily adjusted using a variable
speed drive to the dredge pump.
Dredge pump/motor
130kW motor driving a Warman International 4/3 centrifugal pump - power supplied through stand-alone umbilical winch.
Drill cuttings material
This is variable but the system can readily cut up to 25 -30 kPa cohesive material, although generally cuttings tend to be
relatively free flowing silty sands. Maximum particle size to pass through the suction mouth and pump is 38mm. The design
of the dredge head copes well with seabed debris, minimising pump blockages.

production sampling skid

This ROV deployed subsea Sampling Skid is designed to take

hydrocarbon samples from a live subsea production system with
zero emissions to the environment.
Fluid samples are required in order to determine fluid chemistry from
individual wells and to enable calibration of the subsea flowmetre.
The sampling system is mounted in a skid that interfaces to the
underside of a workclass ROV, the Sampling Skid is fitted with 2 x
5 litre sample bottles which store the hydrocarbon fluid as it is
tapped from the manifold and delivers it to topside at well pressure.
Subsea 7's standard Tooling Deployment Unit (TDU) is fitted to the
front of the ROV and is used to actuate isolation needle valves and
deploy the sampling hotstab.
The sampling system makes use of existing tried and tested
equipment wherever possible. The system has the potential for use
in other applications, such as hydraulic fluid sampling, injection
water sampling and pipeline fluid sampling.

low torque tool

The Low Torque Tool provides a means to develop up to 70Nm (52

ft/lb) torque for actuation of ball and needle valves, clamps, etc.
throughout a subsea production system.
The tool consists of a hydraulic motor coupled, via a gear box, to a
profiled socket suitable for T-bar or paddle actuation. Due to the
low torque figures, no local torque reaction is required. Signals from
a turns counter are relayed to a surface readout.
Different levels of torque can be manually pre-set at the surface and
selected from the topside control console. Alternatively, torque
control can be achieved through a closed loop control system.
The gear unit is housed in an aluminium casing for corrosion and

rotary docking class 1 & 2 torque tool

The Rotary Docking Torque Tool provides a means of developing torque

for actuation of valves, lockdown clamps etc, throughout a subsea
production system. The torque reaction lugs on each side of the tool
include an integral latching mechanism which anchors the tool into the
ISO 13628-8 interface. This provides a means of stabilising the ROV
during valve operations and allows for secure handling of 'fly to place'
electro-hydraulic flying leads.
Torque is produced from a hydraulic motor close-coupled to a torque
multiplier, which is in turn connected to interchangeable profiled drive
sockets. Torque is reacted locally within the front end effecter of the
tool. Signals from a torque transducer and turns counter can be relayed
back to a continuous surface readout via the ROV umbilical.
The tool assembly is contained in aluminium housing for corrosion and
environmental protection. Hydraulic control is achieved from the ROV
through a hydraulics manifold or a separate Hydraulic Control Panel.
Torque output levels can be manually pre-set at the surface and
selected from the topside control console. Alternatively torque control
can be achieved through a closed loop proportional control system
providing infinitely variable torque control (within the range of the tool)
from a surface Control Console.

hydraulic control panel

The Hydraulic Control Panel, when coupled to a torque tool,

provides a means of accurately and predictably controlling the
torque and speed output of that tool.
It is used in conjunction with a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)
hydraulic system. It requires hydraulic solenoid valves from the host
vehicle to switch the functions on the control panel. There are three
different torque settings available, which are selectable from the
surface during the dive without retrieving the ROV.
There are additional function controls on the panel which can
control the pressure and flow available to three double-acting
hydraulic cylinders or actuators. These are designed to control the
Single Point Docking System (SPDS) but can be used for other
applications.
An intensifier is included which will provide an output pressure of up
to 10,000 psi. Again, there is a facility for three surface-selectable
pressure outputs from the intensifier circuit. The intensifier is
isolated by a ball valve when not in use.

electronic control/feedback system

The Electronic Control/Feedback System shown in the photograph

above consists of two assemblies:1. The surface Control Console and feedback display.
This allows the applied torque and number of turns from the torque
tool in use to be monitored. These are measured by sensors fitted
to the torque tool and are 'fed-back' via the DIU interface (see
below) and a screened twisted pair in the host vehicle umbilical.
2. The Dedicated Interface Unit (DIU).
This is to the left hand side in the photograph. The electronics are
contained within housing to withstand the pressure of the seawater
at depth. This is mounted into the host vehicle frame and
electrically connected by a single interface cable. There are internal
vacuum loss and water ingress sensors contained inside the
housing.
The Control Console and DIU communicate with each other using a
dual multiplexer system. They are both of modular design and the
basic system shown above includes a keyboard assembly for
control of up to 12 solenoid valves and switching/focus control for
up to three tooling cameras. The system is also available with

linear actuator override tool

The Linear Actuator Override Tool (LAOT) is used to transmit axial force
to the stem of hydraulically actuated gate valves. The tool consists of
a bayonet profile end effecter which locks the tool to the valve interface
and activates the axial override force generated by the tool's piston.
The LAOT can be deployed by Subsea 7`s Tool Deployment Unit or
Alignment Tool. The tool consists of two discrete units, the tool itself
and a tool carrier which is used to deploy and retrieve the tool. A
rotary actuator within the carrier is used to lock the tool onto the valve
interface bayonet profile by rotating the tool through 45 degrees.
Once locked, and the valve actuated, the carrier can be detached from
the tool for an indefinite time period or until the valve is to be returned
to its original status, at which point the carrier is re-deployed and the
tool retrieved.
Variations of the tools depicted are available to cater for ISO 13628-8
figures 14, 15 and 16. Linear push interfaces type A, B and C in
addition to a double action hydraulic 'push-pull' version.
The Linear Actuator Lock-Out Tool (LALOT) is a mechanically operated
screw thread version of the LAOT; deployed and operated using a
Rotary Docking Class 4 Latching Torque Tool.

hydraulic hotstab

The Hydraulic Hotstab system, comprising male and female mating

halves, is used to provide hydraulic power from the Remotely
Operated Vehicle (ROV) to a subsea production system. Typical
applications are actuator operations, pressure testing, chemical
injection and planned and emergency release.
The male stab is connected to a storage reservoir via a flexible
hydraulic hose and is deployed by the ROV. The male stab is fitted
with protected seals and is loosely secured to the female by two
shaped keys into keyhole slots. The male stab is then self-aligning
during interface with the female.
The female receptacle, permanently mounted to the subsea system, is
manufactured from corrosion resistant materials making it suitable for
long term immersion in sea water. The receptacle is self sealing and
watertight when uncoupled.
The stab is available in single and dual port configuration. Sealing
systems are available to withstand internal, external or bi-directional
pressure.

dual port hotstab

The Dual Port ROV Hotstab provides the means by which fluid
injection may be carried out to a remote piece of subsea equipment.
The free plug is carried by the host ROV, it can be deployed by
manipulator or Tool Deployment Unit (TDU) and features a compliant
handle to aid manipulator deployment or alternatively, a TDU
grabber handle can be fitted.
The fixed receptacle on the subsea structure can be flange
mounted as above or U-bolt mounted. A reservoir and pump is
required to affect pressure and flow. For long term immersion a
dummy plug is also required.
These units are generally installed to override existing systems for
the testing of seals, connections and hydraulic actuation of valves.

hot tap tool

The Hot Tap Tool is designed to clamp, crimp, stab and inject
hydraulic fluid into a pipe.
The version of the hot tap tool shown above is hydraulically
operated and provides the means of clamping onto and hot-tapping
a 3/8" OD tube. Tools are available for other sizes of tube.
An integral spring provides an additional means of generating the
sealing force required to hold the tool onto the tubing. The tool is
fitted with a quick disconnect unit. These features allow the tool to
be left engaged onto the tubing for an extended period of time,
without the need for continuous hydraulic pressure being applied via
an accumulator circuit.
The unit is robustly made from corrosion resistant materials and is
specifically designed for long term, maintenance free immersion in
seawater, with all moving parts contained in sealed, oil-filled
housing.
The tool is designed to be manipulator deployed.

overshot tool

The Overshot Tool provides a remote means for mechanical and

hydraulic connection to hydraulic pipework. It has been used
successfully in instances where broken pipework from an
accumulator to tree has had to be re-established by a jumper
connection assembly. The tool has also been used to pressurise
pipes to test the integrity of subsea hydraulic systems. In each case
the supply to the overshot tool was via a Remotely Operated Vehicle
(ROV) compatible hotstab arrangement which allows for a re-entry
connection to top up control fluids.
The tool requires hydraulic power to actuate two functions, the first
of which grips the tube using a spring applied hydraulically released
mechanism which must be pressurised before connection. The
second (optional mechanical mechanism), provides a hydraulic seal
to the pipe with a one-shot seal function. After connection the tool
will maintain this hydraulic seal when disconnected from the ROV.
The tool can be manipulator deployed by a workclass ROV; which
will require a fluid transfer unit to test the integrity of the connection
prior to any further connections. A cutting tool is also required prior
to connection to ensure a swarf free sealing face.
The unit is robustly made from corrosion resistant materials and is
specifically designed for an unlimited depth rating and long term,
maintenance-free immersion in seawater, with all moving parts
contained in sealed, oil filled housing.

regan latch release tool

The Regan Latch Release Tool provides the means to disconnect

the guidewire from the Regan Latch should the guideline break.
The tool is stabilised on the latch by gussets which allow the
operation to be carried out regardless of the guideline position and
location of the break.
The tool consists of two shaped plates, the lower to locate itself in
the latch gussets, the upper to actuate the latch release
mechanism. They are brought together by a hydraulic function.
After the tool is positioned around the Regan Latch, hydraulic power
supplied by the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) pushes the top
plate into the latch, thus releasing the guidewire.
The tool is manipulator deployed by a workclass ROV. For best
results the manipulator gripper is replaced with the tool and the
resultant spare hydraulic function is used to actuate the tool,
avoiding the need for a separate hydraulic supply.
The unit is robustly made from corrosion resistant materials and has
been developed for ease of use.

wellhead cleaning tool

rov manipulator deployable

The Wellhead Cleaning tool has been designed to remove any

residual gasket coatings, or oxidised scale, from the conical AX/VX
seal face of a wellhead prior to the connection procedure, or reestablishment, of the tree assembly. It can also be used in
instances where the wellhead flange has an integral tubing hanger
which precludes normal access to the seal face for cleaning.
The tool can be deployed by a workclass Remotely Operated
Vehicle (ROV) either by manipulator or via an optional ROV
mountable frame. The operation requires the ROV to dock the
wellhead cleaning tool onto the wellhead flange and hold station
whilst cleaning takes place. The cleaning head employs brushing
and water flushing actions to clean the seal face and tubing hanger
(local to the seal face).
The system is designed to have interchangeable components, for
use on different wellheads. Commonly used heads include; the
18" H4 and STM-15 designs.
The system is designed for ease of use and robustly constructed for
corrosion and environmental protection.

REMOTE TECHNOLOGY SERIES

ax gasket installation / removal tool

The AX Gasket Installation / Removal tool has been developed to

remove and install a gasket from or into its position in the
wellhead, prior to the connection procedure or re-establishment
of the tree assembly. It can also be used in instances where the
wellhead flange has an integral tubing hanger which precludes
normal access to the seal face.
The tool requires hydraulic power to actuate a total of four
hydraulic cylinders. Three of these operate the latching fingers (to
grip the gasket). The fourth cylinder operates the vertical travel of
the latching fingers (to pull or push the gasket from or into
position).
The tool can be manipulator deployed by a workclass Remotely
Operated Vehicle (ROV). This will be required to release the tool
onto the wellhead flange and hold station whilst controlling and
observing the gasket removal/replacement process. Once done
the tool is picked up and can be flown to another wellhead.
The system is designed to have an unlimited depth rating and has
been developed for ease of use and environmental protection.

rov deployed umbilical stabplates

The stabplate and receptacle central mounting plates are designed to

withstand separation loads induced by the hydraulic couplers and
house the appropriate hydraulic couplers and electrical connectors
arranged as necessary to provide the services required. A fabricated
umbilical shroud provides protection for the umbilical jumper tails and
transmits any snag loads via the umbilical clamp.
The receptacle provides a means of positive engagement of the
stabplate assembly and protection for the hydraulic couplers and
electrical connectors. The system is designed with integral alignment
mechanisms to avoid damage to the mating couplers and connectors
during Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) make-up and break-out
operations.
The stabplate locks into its mating receptacle via a centrally located
locking mechanism which provides sufficient capacity to overcome
make-up loads at full working pressure. Controlled disengagement of
connectors and couplers and release of the hub from the receptacle is
achieved by `jacking` the assemblies apart by reversing this
mechanism.
All materials are protected against external and internal corrosion
under all service conditions; particular consideration is given to the
potential for marine growth and other subsea matter, which have the
potential to significantly increase break-out loads over time.

emergency disconnect unit (edu)

The Subsea 7 Emergency Disconnect Unit (EDU) is a field proven

design used for emergency disconnection of subsea control
functions. Typical applications include work-over systems, control
umbilicals or large, basket deployed/underslung Remotely
Operated Vehicle (ROV) tool packages and so on.
The EDU is a combined docking/multi-stab interface which can be
retrieved and re-deployed subsea. The disengage/engage function
is hydraulically actuated and in the case of a work-over system
utilises two hydraulic control lines from the umbilical. Time delays
and sequencing of specific functions can be incorporated into the
control system.
The design is flexible; the actual number, combination and
specification of electro-hydraulic couplers can be varied to suit
client preference. Typical connectors include to 1-inch diameter
hydraulic connectors and 3 to 12 way wet compatible electrical
connectors.
The EDU features a combined test and transit frame.
