contactor 61 may be connected to wet mateable connector 68 if compartment 62 is placed after deployment conductor 66 may be attached to wet mateable connector 68 therefore power may be supplied through mid line connectors to pipe 11 of a segment to be heated using the apparatus and methods described above since the power for electrical readiness may be rarely needed it is a significant advantage that one work boat such as shown in fig1 may support a large number of flowlines spreading the cost of the umbilical the generator and other ancillary equipment over many flowlines instead of requiring installation of this equipment for each flowline fig7 illustrates application of electrical readiness to heating a segment of a single heated insulated pipe with electrical current flow from the first end of the segment to the second end pipe 11 is covered with insulation 11 a between electrical connectors 74 and 76 connectors 22 a are attached to pipeline connector 74 and 76 connectors 22 a may be either dry mateable or wet mateable if dry mateable they must be installed before pipeline 11 is deployed subsea power cable 21 connects to wet mateable connectors 22 buoyancy module 24 may be used to support power cable 21 seawater electrode 77 is shown attached to one of the wet mateable connectors 22 in one mode of.
