Subsea jumper with integrated filter

A subsea system for producing a fluid during a subsea field operation, the subsea system comprising:

• a first pipe that receives the fluid in an unfiltered state from a first subsea system component;
• a second pipe that transports the fluid in a filtered state to a second subsea system component;
• a subsea jumper coupled to the first pipe and the second pipe, wherein the subsea jumper comprises:
• a housing comprising a housing wall forming a cavity having a length, wherein the housing wall has a first end coupled to the first pipe and a second end coupled to the second pipe;
• and
• a filter disposed within the cavity along the length, wherein the filter defines a first flow area and a second flow area within the cavity,
• wherein the first flow area receives the fluid in the unfiltered state at the first end, wherein the fluid, after passing through the filter from the first flow area, flows through the second flow area to the second end in the filtered state, wherein the fluid in the unfiltered state comprises a subterranean resource and solids, and wherein the filter is configured to remove at least some of the solids as the fluid passes through the filter from the first flow area to the second flow area;
• a third pipe in parallel with the subsea jumper;
• a first valve disposed in the second pipe in series with the subsea jumper;
• and
• a second valve disposed in the third pipe, wherein the subsea jumper is bypassed through the third pipe when the first valve is in a closed position and when the second valve is in an open position.

A method for filtering a fluid produced during a subsea field operation, the method comprising:

• facilitating flow of a fluid in an unfiltered state from a first subsea production system component through a subsea jumper comprising a housing having a housing wall forming a cavity, wherein the housing has an upstream end and a downstream end that define a length of the housing, wherein the upstream end of the housing is coupled to the first subsea production system component, wherein the subsea jumper comprises a filter through which the fluid flows, wherein the filter is disposed within the cavity along the length, wherein the filter defines a first flow area and a second flow area within the cavity, wherein the upstream end of the housing is configured to receive the fluid in an unfiltered state from the first subsea production system component into the first flow area within the cavity, and wherein the filter is configured to remove at least some solids from the fluid as the fluid passes through the filter from the first flow area to the second flow area to put the fluid in a filtered state;
• and
• facilitating flow of the fluid in the filtered state from the subsea jumper to a second subsea production system component, wherein the downstream end of the housing is coupled to the second subsea production system component, wherein the downstream end of the housing is configured to distribute the fluid in the filtered state from the second flow area in the cavity to the second subsea production system component, wherein the fluid in the unfiltered state comprises a subterranean resource and the solids, and wherein the filter is positioned within the cavity by a plurality of baffles disposed between the filter and the housing wall.
