Wells are now being drilled and production facilities are being installed in these water depths at the time of this writing. A wide range of pipeline damage is conceivable. At the least severe end of the spectrum, leakage due to local corrosion or a latent weld defect is possible. More severe damage such as that caused by anchor snagging or mudslides would likely require a more extensive repair capability. This research is limited to addressing repair of minor leaks repairable by installation of a split repair clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis report summarizes the Phase II research effort and results. The objective of Phase I was to lay a foundation for eventual development of specific equipment and systems needed to implement the diverless repair clamp. Phase I may be characterized more as an investigation to broadly identify the state of the art in diverless operations and an effort to identify specific technology weaknesses for more detailed study. Another objective of Phase I was to develop generic mechanical concepts for the diverless repair clamp. The objective of Phase II has been to narrow the research focus to select a most favored concept for the mechanical arrangement of the clamp itself and to conceptually describe a preferred method for deploying the clamp. Specifically, the objectives of Phase II were: 1. Develop conceptual designs associated with two different repair philosophies; 2. Investigate and evaluate alternative fastening technologies and clamp-type sealing mechanisms; 3. Investigate installation-related issues such as pipe preparation, ROV capabilities, and ROV interfaces; and 4. Evaluate the two conceptual designs from both a technical and practical standpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRCI Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44361966223438,"sku":"15792","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/prci-store.myshopify.com\/products\/l51669-diverless-pipeline-repair-clamp-phase-ii","provider":"PRCI Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
