ABSTRACT:
A subsea pumpdown tool launcher is provided which permits pumpdown operations without requiring riser access from the surface. The launcher includes an entry valve connected to an upper connection of a fluid circulation line which is, in turn, connectable to a pump. An unrestricted riser section is connected to the lower connection of the circulation line. The bottom of this riser section attaches to the top of a second valve for the exit or entry of a pumpdown tool to or from a subsea wellhead. The bottom of the second valve is connected to the top of a lower connection of the fluid circulation line. The bottom of the lower connection is connected to the top of a subsea wellhead assembly.
