Estimating the term…
A quick-disconnect multi-coupler assembly for disconnecting utility lines connecting well equipment to power sources. The utility lines may be hoses or electrical cables. 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.
