A pump module for a drilling riser includes at least one pump mounted to a frame, the frame including features to couple the frame to a segment of riser. A fluid inlet is affixed to the frame. The fluid inlet is in fluid communication with an intake of the at least one pump. The fluid inlet has features to make fluid tight hydraulic connection to a fluid outlet of the riser segment when the frame is coupled thereto.

The invention relates to a centralization and running tool (CTR) in a subsea installation in connection with offshore related oil and gas exploration, where the subsea installation (SCM) is arranged to be placed on the ocean bottom or a drilling template and comprises a pipe-formed body (), at least partially open at the top and extended, arranged to receive and carry through a drill stem () from a drilling rig or a drilling vessel. The centralization and running tool () is arranged to surround the drill stem () and to be placed in the pipe-formed body (), and the centralization and running tool () comprises, together with the drill stem (), a rotary packing housing () with a number of seals () that lie against the drill stem (), and the packing housing (), in accordance with the movements of the drill stem (), is arranged for radial movement to take up angular deviations of the drill stem (). The invention also relates to a method to provide a fluid-tight seal against a drill stem () and against the surroundings in a subsea installation.
