Claims21
A method of connecting a new subsea well to a subsea production system, the method comprising:
- providing a subsea well, a subsea production flow system and a subsea manifold, the subsea manifold comprising:
- at first connector;
- a second connector fluidly connected to the subsea production flow system;
- a flowline header in fluid communication with the second connector;
- a fluid access point located between the first connector and the flowline header and having first and second flow access openings;
- and
- a first flow path between the first connector and the first flow access opening of the fluid access point and a second flow path between the second flow access opening of the fluid access point and the flowline header;
- wherein the fluid access point is provided with a flow cap;
- fluidly connecting the subsea well to the first connector of the subsea manifold;
- removing the flow cap from the fluid access point of the subsea manifold;
- and
- connecting a removable module to the fluid access point of the manifold, the removable module comprising a first flow path for connecting the first and second fluid access openings such that the subsea well and the subsea production flow system are fluidly connected by the removable module.
