Subsea in-line tee arrangement for subsea production system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11982161B2) discloses a subsea in-line tee arrangement designed for use in subsea production systems. The arrangement includes a subsea in-line tee and a removable module with connectors for linking to the in-line tee and interfaces for connecting to process apparatus. The module facilitates the routing of production fluid between the in-line tee and the process apparatus, as well as from a subsea well to the interface. Additionally, the module can be assembled with a jumper flowline to provide flow access between the flowline and the in-line tee. The patent also covers variations such as the inclusion of isolation valves, dual bore or multi-bore interfaces, and control lines for hydraulic, electrical, or fiber optic connections.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for installing the removable module onto a pre-installed subsea in-line tee in a subsea production system. The method involves deploying the module subsea and coupling its connectors to those of the in-line tee. It also includes steps for removing pre-installed flow components, such as flow caps, before attaching the module. The method highlights the assembly of the module with a jumper flowline and the subsequent connection of process apparatus to the module's interface. Overall, the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and functionality of subsea production systems by providing a versatile and adaptable in-line tee arrangement with removable modules for easy installation and maintenance.
