Problems solved by technology

However, especially for wet-mate connectors, since each connector must be individually assembled and unmated, this can take up a lot of space, because each connector must have enough space for the underwater robot or diver to be able to Operate the connector underwater

Embodiment Construction

[0027] To reduce the overall life-cycle costs, including capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX), associated with novel deepwater oil and gas development, improvements to existing designs, manufacturing processes and operations are required. There is a need for a subsea connector system that is low in cost, can be installed relatively quickly and easily, and requires little maintenance or intervention throughout its operating life that would affect the components to which it is connected. system.

[0028] Typically, a specific connector is used for a specific purpose, and the connector may be a single-way connector or a multi-way connector. For example, it is known to use 4-way connectors for transmitting power, 12-way connectors for transmitting data over Ethernet, and single-way connectors for fiber optics. Wet-mate control connectors typically have a large number of thin conductor pins in order to be able to include multiple control signals to differen...

Abstract

A configurable subsea wet fit connector includes a receptacle connector body (36) and a plug connector body (35). The receptacle connector body of the subsea wet fit connector comprises at least two receptacle inserts formed from at least one connector unit selected from the group consisting of a power connector unit (49), a data connector unit (43), a fiber optic connector unit (90, 91), a gas connector unit or a fluid connector unit. A plug connector body of the subsea wet fit connector comprises at least two plug inserts formed by a connector unit selected from a power connector unit, a data connector unit, an optical fiber connector unit, a gas connector unit or a fluid connector unit, the connector units forming the at least two plug inserts are the same as the connector units forming the at least two receptacle inserts.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to configurable subsea or underwater connectors and methods of operating said connectors. Background technique [0002] Subsea or underwater connectors are designed to operate below the surface of the water. Submarine connectors generally consist of two parts, commonly referred to as plugs and receptacles. The receptacle may include one or more conductor pins, and the plug may include a corresponding plug receptacle for the conductor pins of the receptacle. Connectors can be connected above water (dry mate) or subsea (wet mate), with the specific design adjusted depending on whether the connector is a wet mate or dry mate. Subsea connectors have a variety of uses, including power connectors to provide power to subsea equipment, or control and steering connectors to exchange data between different parts of subsea equipment, or between subsea equipment and surface installations. [0003] Traditionally, separate connectors...
