Jumper line configurations for hydrate inhibition

Abstract

A jumper line system comprising: a first subsea device; a second subsea device; and a jumper line providing fluid communication between the first subsea device and the second subsea device, wherein the jumper line does not comprise a valley.

1 . A jumper line system comprising:
 a first subsea device;   a second subsea device; and   a jumper line providing fluid communication between the first subsea device and the second subsea device, wherein the jumper line does not comprise a valley.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first subsea device comprises a well head. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the second subsea device comprises a manifold. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the jumper line comprises a single peak. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the peak comprises one or more elbows. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more secondary elbows. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more injection ports. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more valves. 
     
     
         9 . A method of transporting hydrocarbons from a subsea well comprising:
 providing a subsea well;   providing a manifold;   connecting the subsea well to the manifold via a jumper line, wherein the jumper line does not comprise a valley; and   flowing hydrocarbons from the subsea well to the manifold via the jumper line.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the jumper line comprises a single peak. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the peak comprises one or more elbows. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more secondary elbows. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more secondary elbows produce one or more bends in the jumper line in the same plane as the flow of hydrocarbons within the jumper line. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more injection ports. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more valves. 
     
     
         16 . A method of connecting two subsea devices comprising:
 providing a first subsea device;   providing a second subsea device;   providing a jumper line, wherein the jumper line comprises a first end section and a second end section does not comprise a valley;   connecting the first end section of the jumper line to the first subsea device; and   connecting the second end section of the jumper line to the second subsea device.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the jumper line comprises a single peak. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the peak comprises one or more elbows. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more secondary elbows. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the jumper line comprises one or more injection ports.
