that provides a necessary flanged branch
for hot tapping an existing subsea pipeline and tying-in a new
lateral pipeline. The fitting eliminates costly
pipeline shut downs and expensive hyperbaric welding.
After tapping, the Smart Tap provides permanent high quality
sealing integrity and full structural reinforcement for the design
life of the pipeline.

The B-CON is designed for piping and pipeline systems where the
connector must compensate for misalignment of the pipe. The B-CON
significantly reduces the time required to install subsea
pipeline
connections by providing a leak tight metal seal with
performance characteristics and versatility that exceed those of
welded pipe or conventional flanges. While primarily intended for
subsea piping
operations, the B-CON is a valuable piece of equipment in any
application (above or below water) where misalignment of the
pipeline is a problem.
Features: Accommodates up to +/-10 of Angular Misalignment 360
Rotation Capability 100% Metal-to-Metal Seal Fully Piggable
Swivel Ring Flange Oceaneerings Swivel-Ring Flange assembly
provides easy alignment of the bolt holes during makeup to a common
flange such as those defined by ASME B16.5, MSS SP-44 and API
6A.
Alignment is an important and critical feature when bolting
subsea pipeline flanges together. The outer ring flange of the
Swivel-Ring Flange assembly is held in position by a retainer
ring that freely rotates around the inner weld-neck hub for quickly
positioning the bolt holes of the two joining flanges.
Features: Provides 360 of Flange Rotation Facilitates Easy Bolt
Hole Alignment 100% Forged Material Meets ASME B16.5 & B16.47,
MSS SP-44, & API 6A6

Piggable Wye Fitting Oceaneerings Piggable Wye is a forged or
cast fitting that joins
pipelines and permits pigging from either inlet branch toward
the single outlet. The fitting utilizes a
30 inclusive angle between the
inlet bores, an industry accepted intersection for reliable
passage of most common pipeline pigs.
The Piggable Wye is available in two basic configurations,
Symmetrical and Asymmetrical.
The inlets and outlets of the basic Piggable Wye terminate with
a hub prepared for butt-welding The ends can also be supplied with
pipe pups for butt-welding or pipe pups with flanges
Oceaneerings Pressure-Balanced Breakaway Joint (PBBJ) is a
connector that separates if an externally applied tension load
exceeds a preset value. Separation of the PBBJ at the predetermined
load is independent of the pipeline internal pressure or external
water depth pressure.
The intentional separation of the joint prevents overloading and
costly damage to structures to which the pipeline is attached as
well as protecting the pipe itself. Structures such as platforms,
risers, offshore tanker loading installations, subsea production
systems and lateral pipeline tie-ins are protected from loads often
caused by anchor drags, mud slides, iceberg scouring and violent
sea states during hurricanes.

Oceaneerings Smart Vent Safety System is specifically
designed
to provide efficient riser repairs and to maximize the safety
of
workers. The Smart Vent Safety System creates a safe work site
by venting any hazardous vapors away from the workstation during
pipe repairs.
Repairs utilizing the Smart Vent Safety System can be executed
without flooding or purging the riser, eliminating the need to
handle
or dispose of contaminated seawater. The system maintains a
large vent area that ensures proper control of pressurization and
release of vapors. Potential damage and environmental hazards
resulting from spills are minimized since hazardous fluids
are piped to a remote storage location. The Smart Vent Safety
System provides a safe and economical solution to ventilation
requirements.
With the Smart Vent Safety System, testing the entire line is
not necessary if only the last weld or mechanical connection
requires testing. The Smart Vent Safety System is anchored, vented
and available in all pipe sizes. It can be used repeatedly without
redressing. For additional personnel protection, the hydraulic
pressure system is monitored by an alarm that sounds warning
signals to alert workers in the event of a pressure reduction.
The Smart Vent Safety System has a proven track record of safe
technology for riser repairs. Customers worldwide utilize the Smart
Vent Safety System for ensuring employee safety, competitive
pricing, working efficiency, and environmental protection.
Features: Creates a Safe Work Site Eliminates Flooding of the
Riser Economical Solution to Ventilation of Hydrocarbons

Hydraulic Smart Flange (HSF) Connector For deepwater pipeline
and riser repairs, Oceaneering PCRS offers a hydraulically-set pipe
end connector based on the proven technology of the Smart Flange
Plus Connector. The connector is designed to provide a structural
connection point subsea. When actuated, the Hydraulic Smart Flange
(HSF) Connector will structurally attach to and seal against the
pipe. Its capable of withstanding full pipeline axial, bending, and
torsional loads while maintaining full line pressure integrity.

PCRS Diverless Connection System utilizes the GRAYLOC Remote
Clamp Connector for fast and reliable pipeline and flowline tie-ins
in water depths
beyond divers capabilities. The system relies on a ROV operated
three segment clamp connector to make the connection between the
two hubs (female and male), capturing a patented Grayloc metal seal
ring in between.
The clamp connector utilizes a single drive screw with a
standard API Torque Bucket and is made up using an industry
standard ROV Torque Tool. The jumper connector with the female hub
retains the metal seal ring with a series of retainer blocks. Once
the clamp connector is fully made up, an annulus test port is
located on the backing plate of the connector allows for the
verification of the sealing integrity. No running
tool is necessary for the installation of the connection
system.

Deepwater, Diverless Pipeline RepairFor deepwater pipeline
repairs PCRS offers the Hydraulic Double Grip and Seal Connector
(HDGSC). The hydraulic pipe end connector grew from the field
proven technology of the Hydraulic Smart Flange
(HSF) Connector and a mechanically set Smart Flange Plus
Connector. The HDGSC consists primarily of two sets of HSF
Connectors internal components which are designed in a mirror image
configuration.
The connector is designed to provide a structural connection
between the jumper pipe and an existing pipeline subsea. When
hydraulically actuated, the HDGSC will structurally attach to and
seal against both pipe ends. The connector is capable of
withstanding full pipeline axial, bending, and torsional loads
while withstanding hydrostatic end loads from the pipeline.
Additional Equipment Required: Pipe Lift Frames Alignment &
Support Hardware Pipe Prep & Cutting Tools
