Abstract: A workover control system (10) has a hydraulic power unit (30) and an electrical signal control unit located on a vessel and a control module (36) located proximate to a subsea well (14). An electrohydraulic umbilical (32) transmits electrical and hydraulic power and signals from the vessel to the control module (36). During workover of the well, workover devices (12) are operated by hydraulic signals provided by an electrohydraulic switch in the control module. The hydraulic signals are produced in response to electrical signals from the vessel.

Abstract: A protection system for a pipeline comprises a hydraulically actuated valve operable to switchably prevent a flow of fluid from a first section of the pipeline to a second section of the pipeline, a hydraulic fluid source for supplying hydraulic fluid to said hydraulically actuated valve to enable actuation thereof, a vent for venting hydraulic fluid from the hydraulically actuated valve, the hydraulically actuated valve being connected to the vent via a differential pressure valve to control venting of the hydraulically actuated valve, a pressure transfer barrier with a first port connected to the first section of the pipeline and a second port connected to said differential pressure valve, said differential pressure valve being supplied with hydraulic fluid at a reference pressure. If the pressure of fluid in the first section of pipeline exceeds the reference pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplied to the differential pressure valve, the differential pressure valve is caused to be in an open state, thereby causing the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulically actuated valve to be released via the vent. The protection system is of particular application to sub-sea hydrocarbon extraction wells.

Abstract: The pressure at a location in a fluid system is determined by supplying fluid to the system to increase system pressure and measuring system pressure when fluid flow between the fluid supply and the location is detected. The fluid system may be a sub-sea hydrocarbon extraction well where the pressure at a location on the seabed is measured remotely/indirectly from above sea level. Flow detectors 5 provided on the seabed are filled with hydraulic fluid and the pressure of this fluid is measured at the surface using a pressure gauge 10. The pressure at a node of the well is determined by increasing the fluid pressure until it exceeds that at the node, when fluid will then flow through the flow detector. Upon detection of flow the real pressure at the node is calculated by summing the hydraulic fluid pressure and the static fluid pressure (calculated from depth of well).
