Subsea Chokes
In shallow or deep water, for subsea trees or manifolds, Cameron has the subsea choke for the job.
Insert-Retrievable Chokes
20-year service life
Cameron has several insert retrievable subsea choke retention designs, including the clamp-style choke. The simple clamp mechanism for latching the insert to the choke body is a robust, ROV- and diver-friendly system.
- A remotely operated tool lowers the insert with its clamp assembly into the choke body.
- Guide pins align the insert, and hydraulic and electrical connectors automatically mate as the insert is soft landed.
- Finally, the ROV operates a single threaded shaft to close the clamp segments. Our large-bore CC80SR subsea insert retrievable choke utilizes the OneSubsea CVC vertical flowline connector system.
We have developed configurations to allow retrieval of the clamp style chokes by the Cameron clamp running tool (CLRT), a third-party deepwater liftline running tool (DLRT), or multipurpose running tool (MPRT). The CC80SR CVC collet-type large-bore insert-retrievable choke uses the standard OneSubsea CVC system running tool.
