Abstract (en)

[origin: US2013146301A1] A subsea structure flowline connection assembly has a subsea structure with a flowline therein, a junction plate affixed to the subsea structure so as to support a flowline connector thereon, a receptacle affixed to or adjacent to the junction plate, and a fly-in connector assembly having a connector thereon. The connector of the fly-in connector assembly being engaged with the flowline connector of the junction plate. The fly-in connector assembly having a flow passageway in communication with the connector of the fly-in connector assembly. The receptacle has at least one slot formed therein. The fly-in connector assembly has an insert member slidably received by the slot. The fly-in connector assembly has an actuator coupled to the connector thereof so as to allow an ROV to rotate an end effector so as to move the connector of the fly-in connector assembly toward the flowline connector.
