Connector

摘要

The invention relates to a connector for connecting two subsea well assembly components, a subsea well assembly in which a first and second subsea well assembly component are connected to provide a well fluid conduit therethrough and additionally connected such that at least some forces can be transmitted between the components without going (i.e. without going entirely) through the well fluid conduit and a method of installing a subsea wellhead assembly which comprises connecting first and second subsea well assembly component to provide a well fluid conduit therethrough and additionally connecting the first and second subsea well assembly components such that at least some forces can be transmitted between the first and second subsea well assembly components without going (i.e. without going entirely) through the well fluid conduit.
