An anchoring assembly for securing a cable having both an optical fiber and an electrical conductor in order to provide a conductive pathway to a downhole tool. The anchoring assembly has a head and tail each having a throughbore with anchor receiving portions. An anchor with a deformable portion maybe inserted into the anchor receiving portions and the head and tail drawn together about the anchor. The anchor receiving portions have a narrowing diameter, which, upon abutment with the anchor causes the deformable portion of the anchor to deflect inward and secure a cable inserted therein. A conductive body is provided in the head or tail for coupling with the cable and providing a conductive pathway to a downhole tool.

An apparatus and method for use in the initial positioning, guiding, clamping and removal of a tubular casing used to produce a borehole, including a mainframe with an opening configured to receive, clamp onto and centralize the casing within the mainframe opening.

An attachment device for securing a buoyancy module to a riser, the attachment device comprising an annular collar which is split into at least two parts, and at least one flange part, which is separable from the collar and has a generally planar flange and a connecting formation by means of which the flange part may be releasably connected to the collar so that the flange extends radially outwardly relative to the collar.

A tool joint clamp which includes a clamp assembly and a stop ring. The clamp assembly has at least two die carriers, with each die carrier having a translating and pivoting link between the die carriers such that the die carriers may move toward and away from a centerline of the clamp assembly. The stop ring includes a ring body having a central aperture forming an internal sidewall, with at least a portion of the internal sidewall having splines. A cam surface and cam follower are positioned between the clamp assembly and the stop ring, with the cam surface and cam follower configured to urge the die carriers toward the clamp assembly's centerline when relative torque is applied between the clamp assembly and the stop ring.

The invention relates to a system, a clamp, and an associated method, for riserless intervention or abandonment of a subsea well (40), the system comprising means for lowering and/or retrieval of wire line tools (19) or equipment from a surface facility (18) to a subsea location, the system comprising: a Pressure Control Head (2) having an internal through-going bore for receiving a wire line (16), wherein the Pressure Control Head (2), during use, allows access to the subsea well (40) for the wire line and serves as a barrier when the wire line (16) and wire line tool (19) is nm into and out of the subsea well (40), a clamp (17) connected to the PCH (2), a wire line tool (19) connected to the wire line (16), and wherein the clamp (17) is adapted to clamp around or being released from the wire line (16) such that lowering and/or retrieving of the Pressure Control Head (2) and the wire line tool (19) is performed using the wire line (16).

A system for launching or retrieving wireline electro acoustic technology (EAT) sensor assemblies in a downhole wellbore comprises an EAT launcher/retriever section and an EAT sensor assembly for placement in the EAT launcher/retriever section. The EAT launcher/retriever section comprises an external high pressure housing, attachment means at each end of the external high pressure housing, and a wedge shaped internal retractable launcher plate with an opening on one side to allow a fiber based wireline cable to pass through the EAT launcher section. The EAT sensor assembly comprises a center section comprising sensors and two end sections, each end section with a set of extendable grippers to grip a fiber based wireline cable, wherein the center section and both end sections comprise a V groove that allows the EAT sensor assembly to be centered on the fiber based wireline cable.

A safety device (20) for attaching to a pipe string (10) comprising a plurality of connected pipe sections (12). The device is configured, comprises a support structure (22) and a clamping arrangement (24) comprising a first engagement member (32) and a second engagement member (34), which clamping arrangement (24) comprises a disengaged state and an engaged state. The support structure comprises a recess (30) adapted to receive the envelope surface of the pipe section. The first engagement member and the second engagement member are arranged in different parts of the recess so that opposite sides of the pipe section are clamped between the first engagement member and the second engagement member when the clamping arrangement is in the engaged state.
