The power sources may be pressurized fluid or electrical energy sources. The well equipment may be located on an offshore platform and the power sources may be located on a floating support vessel. A fixed mounting plate located on the floating support vessel may be connected to the power sources by vessel-side utility lines. A removable mounting plate may be connected to the well equipment by well-side utility lines, and can be releasably coupled to the fixed mounting plate to provide a pressurized fluid or electrical energy pathway from the power sources to the well equipment. Rapid disconnection of the well-side utility lines from the power sources may be performed by decoupling the mounting plates using a decoupling cylinder that can be activated from a remote location.
