A protector for the male or female end of a threaded tubular connection for drilling or operating hydrocarbon wells, comprising a principal body, a first sealing gasket formed from a material which is less rigid than the material of the protector body and intended to make a seal with a surface of an end of the component, the principal body comprising a plurality of orifices through which the sealing gasket passes.

A protector for a connection for a tubular component for drilling or operating hydrocarbon wells, provided with a distal end surface, the protector comprising an annular housing comprising a bottom, two lateral walls, outer and inner, separated from each other and in which an annular gasket is disposed, each lateral wall comprising a bottom lateral wall portion and an exterior lateral wall portion and an upper face, the two exterior lateral wall portions defining an opening with width A.sub.u and characterized in that a distance A between two bottom lateral wall portions is greater than the width A.sub.u, in a manner such as to allow a first annular gasket to be positioned then to allow said annular gasket to be retained in the annular housing.

Methods and systems for protecting a duct joint are provided. An assembly for protecting a joint formed between a first duct and an adjacent second duct includes a first blanket member coupled about the first duct and a second blanket member coupled about the second duct, wherein the second blanket member extends from the first blanket member. The assembly also includes a continuous strap coupled to the first blanket member and to the second blanket member. The strap is configured to couple the first blanket member to the second blanket member such that a load path is provided from the second blanket member to the first blanket member during a duct burst event.

A hose assist attachment for a vessel leg includes a cylindrical guard that encircles the vessel leg leveler. The guard has two symmetrical half collar components fastened together. The attachment improves a liquid vessel having a leg leveler, filling the gap that hoses otherwise get caught in, making transfers more efficient.
