Abstract
A jacketed pipe flange (10) for connection to an end of an inner pipe (12) and to an end of a jacketed outer pipe (14) surrounding the inner pipe includes a central throughport (16) for mating with the inner pipe. The first annular sealing surface (18) surrounds a central throughport for sealing fluid within the inner pipe, a second annular sealing surface (20) surrounds the first sealing surface, and a third annular sealing surface (22) surrounds the second annular sealing surface for sealing fluid in the jacketed outer pipe from the exterior of the flange. An annular gap (24) separates the first and second sealing surfaces, and a test port (26) fluidly connects the annular gap with an exterior port in the flange. A plurality of axially extending throughports (34) in the flange between the second and third sealing surfaces pass fluid through the jacketed outer pipe and the flange to downstream components.

7565931 - Dual bore well jumper - Owned by Energy Equipment Corporation (Houston, TX)

A dual bore well jumper establishing fluid communication between a subsea well and a subsea flowline. The dual bore well jumper comprises a first pipe comprising a first pipe bore and a second pipe comprising a second pipe bore, the second pipe being located within the first pipe bore or side-by side with the first pipe. The dual bore well jumper further comprises termination couplings at each for establishing fluid communication with either the subsea flowline or the subsea well. The first and second pipe bores isolate fluid flow in the first pipe bore from fluid flow in the second pipe bore. The dual bore well jumper may optionally further comprise junction assemblies allowing a change in fluid flow direction. The dual bore well jumper may further optionally comprise a bore access module attached to a junction assembly for selective fluid communication with the first and second bores.
