  • Publication number: 20260168346
    Abstract: A system to reconfigure a subsea production system includes at least one alternative flow path. The alternative flow paths circumvent certain parts of the subsea production system or introduce new functionality into the subsea production system. The system includes a bridging module to allow alternative flow paths between a Christmas tree (XT) production bore and the flowline connector, wherein the flow path passes through a flow control module (FCM). The system also includes a sleeve extending into a bore of the XT configured to block an XT production flow path. The system further includes a valve assembly coupled to an outlet flow path on the XT. The system further includes an adapter assembly coupled to a subsea control module (SCM), wherein the adapter assembly is configured to reroute support systems for the XT to one or more valve assemblies.
