DOWNHOLE SEALING TOOL
A sealing tool for conveyance within a tubular member within a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation. The sealing tool includes a mandrel and a eutectic sealing material disposed about the mandrel. The eutectic sealing material has a eutectic temperature at which the eutectic sealing material melts. The sealing tool also includes means for heating the eutectic sealing material to at least the eutectic temperature. The eutectic sealing material is transferred onto an inner surface of the tubular member by activating the heating means to heat the eutectic sealing material to at least the eutectic temperature to melt the eutectic sealing material.
Subsea interconnection system
An arrangement is for releasable interconnection. In an embodiment, the arrangement includes an outer ring having an inner diameter; and an inner ring having an outer diameter not greater than the inner diameter of the outer ring. One of the outer ring and the inner ring includes at least a first magnet ring and a second magnet ring, spaced apart in an axial direction leaving an axial space there between. The other of the outer ring and the inner ring includes at least one third magnet ring. The first and the second magnet rings are oriented such that same magnetic poles face each other.

CONNECTOR PART OF A CONNECTOR UNIT
A connector part of a connector unit having a connecting structure and a guiding assembly, wherein the connecting structure is moveable between at least two positions at least one of the at least two positions being a connection position and wherein the guiding assembly determines a movement of the connecting structure in the connection position. The guiding assembly has a first keyway, at least a second keyway and at least one key being engaged in the first keyway and the at least second keyway to bring the connecting structure in the connection position due to a movement of the key in the first keyway and the at least second keyway.

Underwater connecting apparatuses and assemblies
Underwater connecting apparatuses include a flexible diaphragm that at least in part defines a wall of a chamber configured to contain a fill material, the wall having a perimeter with a non-circular profile when the chamber is viewed in cross-section. The non-circular profile of the perimeter is configured to allow a volume of the chamber to change without substantially changing a length of the perimeter.

Underwater connecting apparatus and assemblies
A cable termination apparatus for an underwater cable with a conductive core, an axially extending annular insulation portion radially outwardly of the core and an axially extending annular conductive screen layer radially outwardly of the insulation portion. The apparatus having a stress control sleeve, located radially outwardly of the insulation portion and extending partially over the annular conductive screen layer. The stress control sleeve includes an insulating portion and a conductive portion. When the cable termination apparatus is assembled the conductive portion of the stress control sleeve is in contact with an end portion of the screen layer.
