Paper: A Dry Subsea Technique To Develop Offshore Oil and Gas Fields

Lockheed Petroleum Services Ltd. offers an oil and gas production system that allows operators to locate much of the producing equipment on the ocean floor, out of sight and far removed from shipping and weather hazards. Oil and gas wells are drilled from a drillship or semisubmersible drilling rig, and submarine flow lines carry produced fluids to a nearby platform. With this system. a large oil or gas field can be developed without using multiple platforms, as one will serve " an entire field when subsea well completions are used.
