Abstract

A wellhead system includes a wellhead assembly which is generally tubular, a landing string assembly, and an orientation sensor assembly which is mounted on the landing string assembly. The wellhead assembly is secured to a top of a borehole and has an orientation engagement part. The landing string assembly is lowered into the wellhead assembly to land in the wellhead assembly. The landing string assembly has an orientation part with an orientation feature. The orientation engagement part of the wellhead assembly corresponds to the orientation feature. As the landing string assembly is lowered into the wellhead assembly, the orientation feature engages with the orientation engagement part to rotate the landing string assembly about its longitudinal axis into a desired orientation relative to the wellhead assembly. The orientation sensor assembly measures an angular rotation of the landing string assembly about its longitudinal axis.

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for preventing damage to a multiphase pump, comprising measuring the differential pressure of a fluid across a multiphase pump over a time period and measuring the axial position of a rotor of the multiphase pump over a time period. The method also involves calculating a pressure fluctuation by measuring the difference between a maximum value of the measured differential pressure and a minimum value of the measured differential pressure over the time period and calculating a dynamic axial position by measuring the difference between a maximum value of the axial position of the rotor and a minimum value of the axial position of the rotor over the time period. Also involved in the method is comparing the calculated pressure fluctuation of the multiphase pump with an expected pressure fluctuation value, and comparing the calculated dynamic axial position of the rotor with an expected dynamic axial position value, and selecting an operating condition of the multiphase pump from one of expected operation, surge operation and choke operation based on the comparison between the calculated pressure fluctuation and the expected pressure fluctuation value, and the comparison of the calculated dynamic axial position and the expected axial position value.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to a fish farming system comprising a fish pen (1) with a ring- or polygonal shaped floating collar (2) comprising a lower buoyancy member (7), an upper buoyancy member (9) and a plurality of columns (8) which are mounted to the lower buoyancy member (7) and the upper buoyancy member (9). The columns (8) connect the lower and upper buoyancy members (7,9). The lower buoyancy member (7) is a continuous, closed pontoon encircling the central portion of the fish pen (1) in which a net cage (3) is suspended, the net cage (3) forming an enclosure (3) for the fish and the net cage (3) being supported by the floating collar (2).

Abstract

A drilling rig system includes a drilling rig having a floor which is generally planar, and a utility vehicle having a base, a drive apparatus, and a ground engaging motive apparatus upon which the base is supported on the floor. The drive apparatus drives the ground engaging motive apparatus to move the utility vehicle across the floor. The ground engaging motive apparatus is drivable so as to change a direction of travel of the utility vehicle at any point on the floor.
