Electrically operated actuation tool for subsea completion system components
View Patent ↗An electrically operated actuation tool for a subsea completion system component having at least one hydraulically actuatable mechanism comprises an electric motor, a hydraulic pump which is driven by the motor and at least one hydraulic line which communicates between the hydraulic pump and a corresponding hydraulic conduit that is fluidly connected to the mechanism. In this manner, the motor drives the hydraulic pump to generate hydraulic pressure which is used to actuate the mechanism.
1. An actuation tool for a subsea completion system component which comprises at least one hydraulically actuatable mechanism, the actuation tool comprising:
an electric motor;
a power source for the motor;
a hydraulic pump which is driven by the motor;
at least one hydraulic line which communicates between the hydraulic pump and a corresponding hydraulic conduit that is fluidly connected to the mechanism;
wherein the motor drives the hydraulic pump to generate hydraulic pressure which is used to actuate the mechanism;
wherein the power source comprises a battery which is located proximate the motor;
wherein the battery is trickle charged over an electrical cable which is connected to a power supply located on a surface rig;
a body on which the motor and the hydraulic pump are supported;
wherein the body comprises a first end which is releasably connectable to a deployment device and a second end which is adapted to be secured to the subsea completion system component.
