The tensioner in the pics looks eerily similar to the one in this diagram:

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RISERLESS DRILLING
http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?IA=US2003030751&DISPLAY=STATUS
Drill string 135, preferably formed of composite coiled tubing (the spools with orange wire), extends from the floating platform 100, through the water 140, and into the bellmouth 185 at the seafloor 150. The upper end of the drill string 135 passes through and is supported by a rigid extension 210 and a bend limiter, such as a bellmouth 220 or a bend restrictor (not shown), as it exits the injector 128 and extends through the moonpool 115 of the floating platform 100. A BHA 400 is disposed on the lower end of the drill string 135 to drill a borehole 155 below the structural casing 170 for the conductor casing.
The tensioner/injector shows the bellmouth and the composite coiled tubings we have seen being spolled over the past week so I assume that both go hand in hand.
Let me know what you'll think? The picture at the bottom shows the tensioner/injector actually pulling something, maybe testing the strength of the injector?
