An in-line accessory structure for a subsea pipeline has an elongate pipe section arranged to be integrated into the pipeline, hence defining a flow axis through the structure. A branch has a lower end in fluid communication with the pipe section and an upper end in fluid communication with a connector hub. The structure further has a subsea foundation such as a mudmat, arranged to support the structure installed orientation. When the structure is in that orientation, the branch inclines inwardly from its lower end toward its upper end in a transverse direction, toward an upright longitudinal plane containing the flow axis.

An adapter assembly for connecting a flowline which includes an end portion to a subsea tree which includes a fluid line connector. The adapter assembly includes an adapter base, a first connection element which is connected to the adapter base and which connects to the fluid line connector of the subsea tree, and a flowline connector assembly which includes a second connection element which connects to the end portion of the flowline. The flowline connector assembly is attached to the adapter base. The adapter assembly connects to the subsea tree via the first connection element.

The present invention is directed to a coated conduit comprising: a) a conduit having an interior and exterior surface; and b) a cured coating formed from a reaction mixture that is applied to at least one surface of the conduit. The reaction mixture comprises: i) a filler material comprising fibers ranging in length from 0.1 to 15.54 cm and having an aspect ratio of at least 5; and ii) a reactive component that demonstrates a tack-free time of less than five minutes at a temperature of 20 to 25° C. The present invention is also directed to a method of repairing or reinforcing a conduit, comprising: (a) applying a curable coating composition to at least one surface of the conduit, wherein the curable coating composition is formed from the reaction mixture described above; and (b) allowing the curable coating composition to at least partially cure by exposing the composition to ambient conditions.
