Abstract

The invention relates to a vertical subsea tree assembly control. A vertical subsea tree (21) is operated by a subsea control module (47) supplied with hydraulic and electric power from the surface via umbilical 45. Landing sub (27) connects to and is run into the vertical subsea tree (21) through riser (23). The landing sub (27) engages mating penetrations (41) on an upper portion of the master valve block (33) of the vertical subsea tree (21) to supply flow passages (37) extending from the penetrations (41) and through the master valve block (33)to the subsea control module (47) on the exterior of the tree. The subsea control module (47) is then operated through the landing sub umbilical (45) to control operation of the vertical subsea tree (21).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the control of subsea well completions, and in particular to systems and methods for subsea well control by placing a landing sub on a vertical subsea tree. Background technique [0002] Subsea wellhead assemblies are commonly used to produce hydrocarbons extracted from subterranean formations beneath the ocean floor. A subsea wellhead assembly generally includes a wellhead housing disposed at an opening in a wellbore, wherein the wellbore extends through one or more hydrocarbon producing formations. Casing and tubing hangers are positioned within the casing to support casing and production tubing inserted into the wellbore. The casing lines (or acts as a lining for) the wellbore, thereby isolating the wellbore from the surrounding rock formation. The tubing is typically located concentrically within the casing and provides a conduit for the production of hydrocarbons attached within the formation. The well...
