Abstract

Methods and devices for forming a subsea connection over an existing subsea connection are described herein. In one embodiment, a subsea connector for forming a sealed connection to a subsea connection comprises a connector body including a sealing portion. The connector body comprises a throughbore running therethrough. The subsea connector also comprises a latch clamp assembly coupled to the sealing portion. The latch clamp assembly comprises at least a first clamp portion and a second clamp portion movable to couple to an existing subsea connection. The connector body and latch clamp assembly together form a sealed connection to the existing subsea connection.
