from DPDW's 2/15 PR:

The first unique innovation is a Subsea Accumulator Module (SAM), consisting of Subsea Deployment Baskets (SDB) with attached accumulators, a built-in steel flying lead, a J-plate, and a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) panel. Several of these units will be shipped. The SAM has been designed so that it may be transported without a wide load permit and set on a vessel. Once on the vessel, the wings of the SDB can be retracted, and the system will be pre-charged with pressurized control fluid. Thereafter, the SDB can be simply lifted off the deck of the vessel and placed on the seabed. Once on the ocean floor, the vessel will lift and pull out the built-in steel flying lead from the SAM with its own down-line cable. A ROV will be used to guide the steel flying lead from the SAM and connect it to the Hydraulic Distribution Manifold (HDM). The ROV will be further deployed to open valves, wherein the SAM will provide plug-n-play subsea accumulation capabilities to augment the existing subsea distribution control system with localized volume and pressure control features. The SAM will also serve as an anode skid, designed to carry additional anodes. It will be grounded to the structure in order to provide additional cathodic protection to the HDM. The entire SAM can also be easily retrieved and serviced on deck, further improving the ability to retrieve subsea hardware.

one can get an idea of how DDI's Subsea Accumulator Module (SAM) operates by remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to work with the intricacies of Blowout Prevention

Very informative - especially for folks looking for a primer to rigs, etc. The voice evokes memories of John Facenda's narrative for NFL films;) Thanks, spooky!
