A subsea housing assembly, in particular for a subsea sensor, includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The first housing portion includes a first electrical connection for data communication and the second housing portion includes a second electrical connection for data communication. A wall provides separation between the first housing portion and the second housing portion of the subsea housing. An inductive coupler, that includes a first coupling section disposed in the first housing portion and a second coupling section disposed in the second housing portion, is provided. The inductive coupler is configured to provide inductive coupling across the wall for providing at least a data communication between the first and second electrical connections.

A protective cap assembly uses a heavy corrosion inhibitor fluid in the primary chamber (the central bore of the mandrel or hub) and a lightweight corrosion inhibitor fluid in the zones outside of the mandrel or hub. The protective cap assembly uses a two port hot stab receptacle and connects the first port to the primary chamber and the second port to the secondary inlet port with a secondary inlet check valve. The primary chamber is vented directly to the subsea environment. With the secondary inlet check valve added to the secondary inlet port, the second port of the protective cap assembly is connected directly to the secondary inlet check valve.

A sealing profile protector for a subsea hydrocarbon production or processing system component includes a body having an contact surface which is configured to engage a sealing profile on the component. When the sealing profile protector is installed, the contact surface displaces seawater from the sealing profile. In this manner, contaminants are inhibited from forming on the sealing surface after the sealing profile protector is installed.

A bell nipple includes a downhole end configured to sealingly couple to an uphole-end of a blow-out preventer. An uphole end of the bell nipple includes a first set of threads along an inner surface of the bell nipple. A thread saver is configured to be received by the uphole end. The thread saver is configured to protect the first set of threads from impact. An extension sub is configured to be received by the uphole end. The extension sub includes a downhole end with a second set of threads configured to engage with the first set of threads. An uphole end of the extension sub includes a third set of threads configured receive a well tool.

A subsea housing assembly has a subsea housing with first and second housing portions having first and second electrical connections for data communication with a separating wall. An inductive coupler has first and second coupling sections disposed in the first and second housing portions and provides inductive coupling across the wall for data communication between the first and second electrical connections. The inductive coupler has inner and outer coils. The outer coil at least partly surrounds the inner coil and at least part of the wall extends between the inner and outer coil. Soft magnetic material is arranged around the outer coil and/or inside the inner coil where magnetic flux is collected and guided from the outer to the inner coil and/or from the inner to the outer coil. A support structure is provided around and/or inside the part of the wall extending between the inner and outer coil.

A subsea variable speed drive apparatus comprising a pressure resistant container (90) comprising a curved will section having a curved, internal surface (90a); and a variable speed drive comprising at least one power electronics module (50) arranged inside the container and held at a predetermined ambient pressure. The at least one power electronics module is mounted on a heatsink (40) which is mounted on the internal surface, the heatsink comprising a curved surface (40b) contacting the internal surface and having a radius of curvature corresponding to the radius of curvature of the internal surface. A subsea hydrocarbon fluid pumping system comprising such subsea variable speed drive apparatuses and a related method are also disclosed.
