  • Subsea field architecture
    Patent number: 11555382
    Abstract: A subsea hydrocarbon production field includes a number of first subsea christmas trees, a first manifold, a number of first flexible flowline jumpers, each of which is connected between the first manifold and a corresponding first tree. Each first flowline jumper includes a first flow conduit and a number of first umbilical lines, and each first flowline jumper includes a first end which is removably connected to a corresponding first tree by a first multibore hub and connector arrangement and a second end which is removably connected to the first manifold by a second multibore hub and connector arrangement.
