A flow control module includes an inlet hub, a flow meter, a choke, and an outlet hub. The inlet hub is coupled to a first flow passage having a first flow bore. The flow meter is associated with the first flow bore and positioned for top-down fluid flow. The choke is disposed in a second flow passage having a second flow bore. The second flow passage is coupled to a distal end of the first flow passage. The outlet hub is coupled to a distal end of the second flow passage and faces in a different direction from the inlet hub.

A sealing profile protector for a subsea hydrocarbon production or processing system component includes a body having an contact surface which is configured to engage a sealing profile on the component. When the sealing profile protector is installed, the contact surface displaces seawater from the sealing profile. In this manner, contaminants are inhibited from forming on the sealing surface after the sealing profile protector is installed.

A flow control module includes an inlet hub coupled to a first flow passage having a first flow bore, a flow meter associated with the first flow bore and positioned for top-down fluid flow, a choke disposed in a second flow passage having a second flow bore, the second flow passage coupled to a distal end of the first flow passage, and an outlet hub coupled to a distal end of the second flow passage, the outlet hub facing in a different direction from the inlet hub.

An assembly includes an inlet hub () coupled to a first flow passage () located within a flow control module, the first flow passage having a first flow bore, a flow meter () associated with the first flow bore and positioned for top-down fluid flow, a choke () disposed in a second flow passage () having a second flow bore, and an outlet hub () coupled to a distal end of the second flow passage. A system includes a flow control module assembly () having an inlet () and at least two outlets (), a main line () in fluid communication with the inlet, a first branch line () coupled to the main line and to a first outlet () of the at least two outlets, and a second branch line () coupled to the main line and to a second outlet () of the at least two outlets, and a tie-in connector () coupled to the inlet of the flow control module assembly.

Flow control module

A flow control module includes an inlet hub coupled to a first flow passage having a first flow bore, a flow meter, and a choke disposed in a second flow passage having a second flow bore, where the second flow passage is coupled to a distal end of the first flow passage. The flow meter is associated with the first flow bore and positioned for top-down fluid flow. The flow control module also includes an outlet hub coupled to a distal end of the second flow passage, where the outlet hub faces in a different direction from the inlet hub.

A subsea hydrocarbon production system comprises a tubing hanger which is positioned at an upper end of a well bore, a tubing string which extends from the tubing hanger into the well bore and is fluidly connected to the tubing hanger production bore, and a christmas tree which is positioned above the tubing hanger. The christmas tree comprises a production bore which is fluidly connected to the tubing hanger production bore, a production outlet which is connected to the production bore, a first barrier element which is positioned in the production outlet, and a first closure device which is positioned in the production bore above the production outlet. In this manner access from above the christmas tree through the production bore does not require passage through a barrier element.

A temporary abandonment cap includes a body, a pressure-retaining top portion extending across the body and a plurality of locking pins coupled to the body and a single moveable handle, the locking pins being adapted to be moved from an engaged position to a disengaged position by movement of the single handle. The temporary abandonment cap is lightweight, reusable, and can be placed on and retrieved from an open pipe of a subsea well.
