Production system for subsea oil wells

Abstract From the Canadian patent

This invention presents a subsea production system in which a new concept of subsea structure for oil well drilling completion and production, was specially designed for utilization in water depths of l,000m or more. The structure includes a template manifold which extends radially from a central foundation (3), on top of which said structure (1) shall be set and where the central manifold (31) for well (16) production control is located; each structure arm is provided in its extremity with an opening for adaptation of a guide-base (5) for well (16) drilling and one of the arms (2') of the, structure (1) is intended to receive the connectors (6) of the export and well control lines.
