Abstract
The present disclosure provides a bore selector device (10) comprising a housing (11) defining a bore (20) extending therethrough, the bore having a main longitudinal axis. The bore selector device also comprises at least a first and a second actuator (13) opposite each other. Each of the first and second actuators being moveable between respective retracted and extended positions in a direction perpendicular to the main longitudinal axis. Each actuator is connected to a respective ram (12) such that the rams are each moveable between respective retracted positions and extended positions in a direction perpendicular to the main longitudinal axis. Each actuator and attached ram is moveable in the same linear direction.
Claims27
A bore selector device for use with a multi-bore subsea equipment having a first bore and a second bore, the bore selector device comprising:
- a housing defining a bore extending therethrough the bore having a main longitudinal axis;
- at least a first and a second actuator opposite each other, each moveable between respective retracted and extended positions in a direction perpendicular to the main longitudinal axis;
- each actuator connected to a respective ram such that the rams are each moveable between respective retracted positions and extended positions within the bore and in a direction perpendicular to the main longitudinal axis to direct tooling being passed through the bore toward either the first bore or the second bore of the multi-bore subsea equipment;
- wherein each actuator and attached ram is moveable in the same linear direction,
- wherein the bore selector device comprises a maximum of a single bore between the rams and a lower flange connector adapted to connect to a bore spacer sub having at least two discrete bores.
