General Overview of Subsea Production Systems Subsea production systems can range in complexity from a single satellite well with a flowline linked to a fixe d platform to several wells on a template producing and transferring via subsea processing facilities to a fixed or floating facility or directly to an onshor e installation. The objectives of this document are to describe typical ex amples of the various subsystems and components that can be combined, in a variety of ways, to form complete subsea production systems; to describe the interfaces with typical downhole and topsides equipment t hat are relevant to subsea production systems; and to provide some basic design guidance on various aspects of subsea production systems
