  • Patent number: 8720581
    Abstract: A production flow base (1) for possible future branched connection onto a production manifold (10) in order to provide for the connection of at least two production jumpers extending from respective subsea Xmas trees onto the production manifold (10), is shown. The production flow base (1) is arranged as a retrofit module connectable to a single inboard hub (11) prearranged on the production manifold (10). The production flow base (1) includes a frame structure (2), piping (3), at least one connector (4) and guiding means (9). The frame structure (2) is arranged for landing on a supporting arrangement (12) projecting from a manifold structure (10). The piping (3) forms a branch terminating in a connector (4) and at least two outboard hubs (6).

  • Publication number: 20120138307
    Abstract: A subsea production station (SPS) including at least a production manifold and a multi phase pump unit (MPP) for subsea operation is shown. Each of them has respective modules for control/operation operatively connected to at least a floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO), subsea umbilicals, risers, flow lines, subsea wells, installations such as X-mas tree and other units in the system. The manifold (4) is adapted for its application for producing hydrocarbons from a plurality of wells. The pump unit (7) is adapted to add kinetic energy along the flow lines. The manifold (4) and the pump unit (7) are integrally disposed adjacent to one another on a common foundation (2) and are adapted to have a common support structure and common suction anchor (1).
