Hose to Oil Cooler Failure

Hi guys,
Had a little problem the other night. Left side oil cooler line pulled out or forced out under pressure. Luckily I noticed it quickly and pulled over seconds after the oil warning light lit up. It was still puking oil out on the ground, so no harm done hopefully.

I'm not familiar what kind of fittings are used for this application. Is the original a pressure fit? Does it need to be specially crimped back on?

What's the best way to couple this back together without having to get an entire new hose with ends? Can I put in a short splice that can be installed with home tools?

Looks like clam removal to replace it in one piece.
I was going to post 25k miles without a problem, until this happened.
