Tap provides permanent
high quality sealing
integrity and full structural
reinforcement for the
design life of the pipeline.

The B-CON is designed for piping and pipeline systems where the
connector must compensate for misalignment of the pipe. The B-CON
signifcantly reduces the time required to install subsea pipeline
connections by providing a leak tight metal seal with performance
characteristics and versatility that exceed those of welded pipe or
conventional fanges. While primarily intended for subsea piping
operations, the B-CON is a valuable piece of equipment in any
application (above or below water) where misalignment of the pipeline
is a problem.
Features:
Accommodates up to +/-10 of Angular Misalignment
360 Rotation Capability
100% Metal-to-Metal Seal
Fully Piggable
Swivel Ring Flange

Oceaneerings Swivel-Ring Flange assembly provides easy alignment of the bolt holes during makeup to a
common fange such as those defned by ASME B16.5, MSS SP-44 and API 6A.
Alignment is an important and critical feature when bolting
subsea pipeline fanges together. The outer ring fange of the
Swivel-Ring Flange assembly is held in position by a retainer
ring that freely rotates around the inner weld-neck hub for quickly
positioning the bolt holes of the two joining fanges.
Features:
Provides 360 of Flange Rotation
Facilitates Easy Bolt Hole Alignment
100% Forged Material
Meets ASME B16.5 & B16.47, MSS SP-44, & API 6A

B-CON Misalignment Ball Connector
Piggable Wye Fitting

Oceaneerings Piggable Wye is
a forged or cast ftting that joins
pipelines and permits pigging
from either inlet branch toward the
single outlet. The ftting utilizes a
30 inclusive angle between the
inlet bores, an industry accepted
intersection for reliable passage of
most common pipeline pigs.
The Piggable Wye is available in two basic confgurations, Symmetrical and Asymmetrical.
The inlets and outlets of the basic Piggable Wye terminate with a hub prepared for butt-welding
The ends can also be supplied with pipe pups for butt-welding or pipe pups with fanges
Oceaneerings Pressure-Balanced Breakaway Joint (PBBJ)
is a connector that separates if an externally applied
tension load exceeds a preset value. Separation of
the PBBJ at the predetermined load is
independent of the pipeline internal
pressure or external water depth
pressure.
The intentional separation of the joint
prevents overloading and costly damage to structures to which the pipeline is attached as well as
protecting the pipe itself. Structures such as platforms, risers, offshore tanker loading installations, subsea
production systems and lateral pipeline tie-ins are protected from loads often caused by anchor drags,
mud slides, iceberg scouring and violent sea states during hurricanes.

Oceaneerings Smart Vent Safety System is specifcally designed
to provide effcient riser repairs and to maximize the safety of
workers. The Smart Vent Safety System creates a safe work
site by venting any hazardous vapors away from the workstation
during pipe repairs.
Repairs utilizing the Smart Vent Safety System can be executed
without fooding or purging the riser, eliminating the need to handle
or dispose of contaminated seawater. The system maintains
a large vent area that ensures proper control of pressurization
and release of vapors. Potential damage and environmental
hazards resulting from spills are minimized since hazardous fuids
are piped to a remote storage location. The Smart Vent Safety
System provides a safe and economical solution to ventilation
requirements.
With the Smart Vent Safety System, testing the entire line is not necessary if only the last weld or
mechanical connection requires testing. The Smart Vent Safety System is anchored, vented and available
in all pipe sizes. It can be used repeatedly without redressing. For additional personnel protection, the
hydraulic pressure system is monitored by an alarm that sounds warning signals to alert workers in the
event of a pressure reduction.
The Smart Vent Safety System has a proven track record of safe technology for riser repairs. Customers
worldwide utilize the Smart Vent Safety System for ensuring employee safety, competitive pricing, working
effciency, and environmental protection.
Features:
Creates a Safe Work Site
Eliminates Flooding of the Riser
Economical Solution to Ventilation of Hydrocarbons

Hydraulic Smart Flange (HSF) Connector

For deepwater pipeline and riser repairs, Oceaneering PCRS offers a hydraulically-set pipe end
connector based on the proven technology of the Smart Flange Plus Connector. The connector is
designed to provide a structural connection point subsea. When actuated, the Hydraulic Smart Flange
(HSF) Connector will structurally attach to and seal
against the pipe. Its capable of withstanding
full pipeline axial, bending, and torsional
loads while maintaining full line pressure
integrity.

Diverless Connection & Repair Systems
PCRS Diverless Connection
System utilizes the GRAYLOC

Remote Clamp Connector for
fast and reliable pipeline and
fowline tie-ins in water depths
beyond divers capabilities. The
system relies on a ROV operated
three segment clamp connector
to make the connection between
the two hubs (female and male), capturing a patented Grayloc

metal seal ring in between.

The clamp connector utilizes a single drive screw with a standard API Torque Bucket and is made up using
an industry standard ROV Torque Tool. The jumper connector with the female hub retains the metal seal
ring with a series of retainer blocks. Once the clamp connector is fully made up, an annulus test port is
located on the backing plate of the connector allows for the verifcation of the sealing integrity. No running
tool is necessary for the installation of the connection system.

Deepwater, Diverless Pipeline Repair
For deepwater pipeline repairs PCRS offers the Hydraulic Double Grip and Seal Connector (HDGSC).
The hydraulic pipe end connector grew from the feld proven technology of the Hydraulic Smart Flange
(HSF) Connector and a mechanically set Smart Flange Plus Connector. The HDGSC consists primarily
of two sets of HSF Connectors internal components which are designed in a mirror image confguration.
The connector is designed to provide a structural connection between the jumper pipe and an existing
pipeline subsea. When hydraulically actuated, the HDGSC will structurally attach to and seal against both
pipe ends. The connector is capable of withstanding full pipeline axial, bending, and torsional loads while
withstanding hydrostatic end loads from the pipeline.
Additional Equipment Required:
Pipe Lift Frames
Alignment & Support Hardware
Pipe Prep & Cutting Tools
