Abstract

A running string for a subsea completion comprises an upper section () which may be a coiled tubing (CT) injector unit as shown, or a wireline lubricator (). A lower section () provides wireline/CT access to production/annulus bores of a tubing hanger (not shown) attached to tubing hanger running tool (). A flow package () in the lower section (), together with BOP pipe rams () and annular seal (), directs production and annulus fluid flows/pressures to the BOP choke/kill lines (). The upper and lower sections allow installation and pressure/circulation testing of, and wireline/CT access to, a subsea completion, without the use of a high pressure riser.
