A system and method for securely cradling a subsea pipeline is claimed that lands on one side of the pipeline, is embedded into the sea floor, reaches under the pipeline, positions the cradling structure, and then lifts the pipeline. The system typically comprises a gravity driven pile based device, comprising a pile tower, a roller carriage assembly, and a jacking assembly that engages the roller carriage assembly and pile tower rails.

A well tester adapted to select among members of an oil well family to provide a purged and clean vessel to receive samples of well production that include gas and oil, and by selective use of production pressure and lease water under pressure, allow for the separation and separate measure of the oil and gas, and optionally to provide for improved sampling of production fluids with high gas/oil ratios.

Apparatus and method to obtain representative samples of oil well production

An apparatus and process for obtaining representative samples of fluids produced from one or more oil wells by means of a closed vessel chamber with lease water supply port connected to a lease water supply line, where a pressure sensor within such internal chamber is used together with a flowmeter and liquid-sensing probe or oil/water interface sensor employed in the fluid flow path lines to determine a rate of well production along with absolute or relative amounts of oil, water and gas contents. A complex and extensive distribution of fluid flowpath lines and flow control valves are employed in this well tester to achieve a multitude of process steps such as chamber filling with well fluids, chamber gas expulsion, chamber pressure measurement, chamber contents settling and stratification, gas compression, gas purging, lease water injection, chamber oil expulsion, line flushing of well fluids, air/oil interface sensing, gas/oil interface sensing, fluid flow measurement, time interval measurement and gas volume calculation via Boyle's Law by choosing a proper setting of selectable valve arrangements among a well selector valve, gas control valve, test fluid inlet valve, by-pass valve, lease water valve, purge valve and sample exit line selector valve.

A clamping device is illustrated for securing the elements of a fishing pole, once the extensions have been taken apart.

A collapsible playhouse made from two halves of sheet material, such as corrugated cardboard, secured together. Material is applied at the edges to make them smooth and prevent cuts from being inflicted on the user. The applied material also strengthens the edge areas. It may be provided in the form of tape, or of tabs extended from the free edges to be folded back therefrom. The edges could be compressed to the normal sheet thickness by running the material through a roller press.
