An arrangement and method for integrating a high pressure riser sleeve
from the upper end of a high pressure drilling and workover riser
terminated by an upper BOP close to sea level in one end and by a sub-sea
blowout preventer BOP or a low riser package LRP close to the seabed in
the lower end. The high pressure riser sleeve being installed, connected
and integrated to the high pressure drilling and workover riser and
extending up to and above the drill floor, inside a low pressure drilling
riser slip joint which is connected to the drilling and workover riser.
This relates to offshore drilling and well activities preformed from a
floating drilling or workover rig or vessel. Operations can be switched
from drilling with jointed drillpipe in a conventional manner, into
performing underbalanced wireline and/or coiled tubing activities with
full well pressure, much more effectively than with prior art.
