CONDUIT ANCHOR
Disclosed is conduit anchor, an offshore system comprising a conduit anchor and a method of deployment. The conduit anchor includes a base section adapted for attachment to a conduit, and a conduit guide extending from the base section. In use a dynamic conduit extends along a dynamic conduit pathway range defined by the anchor, via the conduit guide. The conduit guide comprises a convex bend protecting surface region oriented towards the dynamic conduit pathway range which in use protects against over bending of the dynamic conduit.
Suction anchor for a subsea well
A suction anchor for a subsea well is provided. The suction anchor includes a wellhead support structure. The wellhead support structure is at least in part external of the internal volume of the suction anchor.
