Apparatus and Method for Laying Down, Abandoning, and Recovering a Pipe on the Sea Floor

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for laying down, abandoning and / or recovering a pipe on the sea floor. During lay-down and abandonment, the pipe is lowered by a high capacity winch to an intermediate depth, at which the loading exerted by the pipe has dropped to within the rated capacity of a low capacity winch, to which the loading is then transferred. The high capacity winch line is then recovered to the attendant vessel and the pipe lowered to the sea floor using the low capacity winch. Pipe recovery is essentially a reversal of the above procedure. In this way, the length of the line of the high capacity winch is considerably reduced, which reduces the winch size and hence cost.

Method of Estimating Depths from a Single Image Displayed on Display

A method of estimating depths on a monocular image displayed on a display is utilized for improving correctness of depths shown on the display. Feature vectors are calculated for each patch on the monocular image for determining an intermediate depth map of the monocular image in advance. For improving the correctness of the intermediate depth map, an energy function in forms of vectors is minimized for calculating a best solution of the depth map of the monocular image. Therefore, the display may display the monocular image according to a calculated output depth map for having an observer of the display to correctly perceive depths on the monocular image.

Depth write disable for rendering

A depth write disable apparatus and method for controlling evictions, such as depth values, from a depth cache to a corresponding depth buffer in a zone rendering system. When the depth write disable circuitry is enabled, evictions from the depth cache (as which typically occur during the rendering of the next zone) to the depth buffer are prevented. In particular, once the depth buffer is initialized (i.e. cleared) to a constant value at the beginning of a scene, the depth buffer does not need to be read. The depth cache handles intermediate depth reads and writes within each zone. Since the memory resident depth buffer is not required after a scene is rendered, it never needs to be written. The final depth values for a zone can thus be discarded (i.e., rather than written to the depth buffer) after each zone is rendering.

Completion system for subsurface equipment

A concentric tubing well completion method and a subsurface annular flow crossover system are provided. The well completion method creates at least three separate, pressure isolated annular flow channels in a wellbore. The subsurface crossover provides for switching fluid flow between the annular flow channels within the completed well. The crossover system can be used in conjunction with other subsurface equipment to more efficiently manage fluid flows in the completed well. For example, fluid from any subsurface reservoir or separate reservoirs can be delivered to the surface. In addition, flow paths can be provided for a fluid circulation loop from the surface, a subsurface fluid lifted to the surface or a fluid moved to a different depth in the well for reinjection. The subsurface crossover also provides a method to shift the fluids from one annular fluid channel to another. The subsurface annular flow crossover system also allows the installation of a device at any intermediate depth in the well while allowing fluid flow past the device thus eliminating the disruption or blocking of the flow for the purposes of heat and produced fluid extraction. For example, the crossover can be used to maintain separation between a working fluid and produced fluids in a subsurface heat exchanger used in a geothermal well or a subsurface turbomachinery such as a subsurface pump.
