Abstract

A diverter system (10) for a subsea well has a blowout preventer (12) and a diverter (14) affixed to an outlet (20) of the blowout preventer. The blowout preventer (12) will have an interior passageway with an inlet (22) at a bottom thereof and an outlet (24) at a top thereof. The diverter (14) has a flow passageway extending therethrough and communication with the interior passageway of the blowout preventer (12). The diverter (14) has a valve therein for changing a flow rate of a fluid flowing through the flow passageway. The diverter (14) has at least one channel opening in valved relation to the flow passageway so as to allow the fluid from the flow passageway to pass outwardly of the diverter. At least one flow line is in valved communication with the flow passageway (48) so as to allow fluids or materials to be introduced into the flow passageway.
