A subsea well intervention method implemented on a well (200) from a floating vessel (100), said floating vessel not comprising a derrick, the method comprising a step of connecting a power line (207) directly between a remotely operated vehicle (206) and the blowout preventer module (202) for powering the blowout preventer module, the remotely operated vehicle (206) being connected to a control unit (107) located on the floating vessel via a remotely operated vehicle umbilical (106).

Systems and methods for coupling a platform to a subsea wellhead are provided. The systems may include a riser extending between the platform and the subsea wellhead. The systems may further include an inner drilling riser tie-back connector (“ITBC”) coupled to an inner riser and having an outer body and an inner body. The inner body is at least partially disposed within the outer body, and the inner body is translatable along a longitudinal axis of the ITBC between a first unlocked position and a second locked position. The systems may additionally include a locking mechanism for the ITBC.

Methods, systems, and storage media for predicting physical changes to a wellhead coupled to a riser in an aquatic volume of interest are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain training data; obtain a machine learning algorithm; generate a riser response model by applying a machine learning algorithm to the training data; store the riser response model, obtain target environmental data, target tension data, and target mud data, generate predicted riser response data, transform predicted riser response data, generate a representation, and display the representation.

A connecting assembly for connecting a first body and a second body. The first body includes multiple grooves formed on an outside of the first body near a connecting end. The connecting assembly includes a connector. The connector includes multiple connecting segments arranged circumferentially around a central longitudinal axis; and a first jaw formed on an inside of the segments. The first jaw includes multiple teeth. Each tooth includes: a leading side facing an axial center of the connector; a top side; and a trailing side opposite the leading side. A tooth height is measured between a base of the tooth and an intersection between the leading side and the top side of the tooth. At least two of the tooth/groove pairs have a difference between tooth height and groove depth that are different from each other.

A connector includes a jaw used to connect a connection element and a wellhead designed to better distribute tensions on the contact surfaces of the teeth thereof, including, for example, having contact surfaces with differentiated angles and differentiated spacing, resulting evened tensions on the contact surfaces of the teeth.

In a blowout preventer stack with two sealing elements which will not individually withstand the desired pressure differential the method of withstanding the desired pressure differential comprising providing a lower sealing element and an upper sealing element, providing a vent port in the bore below the lower sealing element to a relief valve, venting the outlet of the relief valve to the bore between the lower sealing element and the upper sealing element, adjusting the relief valve to limit the pressure allowed below the lower sealing element to a predetermined amount equal to or less than the working pressure of the lower sealing element.

The method of providing blowout preventer ram actuator which will move a blowout preventer shear ram into the bore of the blowout preventer and retract the blowout preventer shear ram from the bore of the blowout preventer, comprising providing a first and second piston, pressuring the second cylinder extension area to move the blowout preventer shear ram into contact with the pipe to be sheared while venting the second cylinder, sensing that the blowout preventer shear ram has contacted the pipe to be sheared, pressuring the first and the second cylinder to shear the pipe and pressuring the first cylinder to retract the shear ram.

A tool for mechanically unlocking a subsea hydraulic connector which is configured to releasably connect a first subsea component to a second subsea component. The connector includes a housing which is secured to the first subsea component, a locking piston which is positioned within the housing, and a number of locking jaws which are configured to be engaged by the locking piston. The locking piston is movable between a locked position in which the locking piston forces the locking jaws into engagement with the second subsea component to thereby secure the connector to the second subsea component, and an unlocked position in which the locking piston releases the locking jaws from engagement with the second subsea component to thereby disconnect the connector from the second subsea component. The tool includes a number of transportable actuators which are positionable into an operable position adjacent the connector, and activation of the actuators causes the locking piston to move from its locked position to its unlocked position to thereby disconnect the connector from the second subsea component.
