FLOWLINE QUICK CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

In some implementations, a flowline connector assembly includes a first flowline member having a first cylindrical passageway, and a first stop extending radially outward from an outer surface of the first flowline member, and a second flowline member having an annular configuration defining a second cylindrical passageway. The flowline connector assembly may include a pin, having an annular configuration, configured to be inserted into the first cylindrical passageway and the second cylindrical passageway. The flowline connector assembly may include a collar where an inner surface of the collar at a first end is configured to contact a first side of the first stop, and the inner surface of the collar at a second end is configured to contact a first side of a second stop to connect the first flowline member with the second flowline member, where the second stop extends radially from the pin or the second flowline member.

Fluid connection assembly

A remotely-operated fluid connection assembly to hold higher internal pressures in larger diameters. The assembly comprises a fluid connection adapter and a fluid connection housing assembly. When the adapter enters the housing assembly: (A) locking elements on the housing assembly constrict about the adapter; and (B) at least a first seal section on the adapter sealingly contacts a first seal bore on the housing assembly. Progressive engagement of a locking ring upon the locking elements urges the locking elements to tighten against the adapter. Internal pressure encourages adapter displacement, which then further tightens the adapter against the locking elements as now restrained by the locking ring. Internal pressure further encourages the first seal section on the adapter to expand radially to tighten the contact with the first seal bore in the housing assembly.

A connector may comprise a plurality of locking members arranged to engage and disengage a well tool. Each locking member may be selectively and individually actuated to engage and/or disengage the well tool while the connector is coupled to the well tool. The position of the individual locking members may be selectively determined. The position of the locking members may be viewed on a display for remote member actuation.

Secondary unlock tool for subsea connectors

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.
