A system for deploying a coil of spoolable pipe from a vessel includes a first tower configured to move longitudinally and transversely along a first track coupled to the vessel, a second tower configured to move longitudinally along a second track coupled to the vessel, and a coil drum assembly coupled to the first tower. The first tower is configured to insert the coil drum assembly transversely into an interior channel of the coil when the coil drum assembly is in a retracted position, the coil drum assembly is configured to support the coil when the coil drum assembly is in an extended position and rotate during deployment of the spoolable pipe, and the first tower and the second tower are configured to move the coil drum assembly vertically.
Techniques for implementing and operating a system that includes a pipe segment, which has tubing that defines a bore and a fluid conduit implemented in an annulus of the tubing, and a test head. The test head includes a shell, which defines an annulus cavity, and an inflatable bladder implemented in the annulus cavity, in which the system maintains the inflatable securing bladder in a less inflated state while pipe segment tubing is not present in the annulus cavity and increases inflation of the inflatable bladder to a more inflated state when the tubing is present in the annulus cavity to facilitate securing and sealing an open end of the pipe segment in the test head to enable integrity of the tubing to be tested at least in part by flowing a test fluid into the annulus of the tubing via a testing port on the shell.

A system includes a trailer base, a trailer bed mounted to the trailer base, a turntable disposed on the trailer bed, and a lifting head protruding in an outwardly direction from the trailer bed and the trailer base when the lifting head is in a first orientation. A position of the lifting head is adjustable along a longitudinal axis of the trailer bed. The system also includes an actuator coupled to the trailer base. The lifting head is raised to a second orientation by the actuator when the actuator is in an actuated state, and the lifting head is in the first orientation when the actuator is in a non-actuated state.

Protector assembly for flexible pipe coils and method of using same
A system includes a coil contacting base. The coil contacting base includes a radially curved outer surface with a radius of curvature less than or equal to a coil radius of curvature of an interior channel of a coil of spoolable pipe, and the coil contacting base includes a length greater than or equal to an axial dimension of the coil. The system also includes a side wall coupled to an inner surface of the coil contacting base. The side wall is configured to block circumferential movement of a coil restraint. The system also includes a passage disposed between the coil contacting base and the side wall. The coil restraint is configured to be disposed in the passage.
A pipe coil skid comprises a plurality of beams affixably connected together to form a rectangular shaped base with a platform disposed within the base, the platform having a concave upward shape on its upward facing side when the skid sits on a horizontal surface such that the coil of pipe positioned upon the platform contacts the platform within the base. In other aspects, the pipe coil skid has an upward facing side generally corresponding to the outer circumferential shape of a coil of pipe. The beams and the platform may be formed of a steel material. The platform may be coated with a non-stick material or a rubberized material. The pipe coil skid may have a plurality of tie-down points for securing the coil of pipe. The pipe coil skid may have stackable corners disposed on the skids to enable stacking of pipe coil skids.

A pipe coil skid includes a plurality of beams affixably connected together to form a rectangular shaped base and a platform disposed within the base. The platform has a concave upward shape on its upward facing side when the skid sits on a horizontal surface, such that a coil of pipe positioned upon the platform contacts the platform within the base. The pipe coil skid also includes a first side rail coupled to at least one of the plurality of beams. The first side rail is configured to block movement of the coil of pipe beyond a boundary of the rectangular shaped base.
