Abstract: The invention relates to a method for subsea hydrocarbon recovery in which a wellbore is drilled using a base installed on the seabed, said base comprising a drilling guide, in which at least one pipeline is to be connected to a network for storage and/or processing operations. The method according to the invention includes the following steps: preparing a pre-assembly of a base and one or more pipelines, lowering and positioning the pre-assembly on the seabed, drilling the wellbore through the base, placing a connecting element between the wellbore and the pipeline.
