Abstract
A well system comprises a subsea system to be positioned on a floor of a subsea at or near a current well that is formed in a subsurface formation below the floor of the subsea. The subsea system comprises at least one solids reduction device to receive solids that were part of the subsurface formation from downhole at a surface of the current well, wherein the at least one solids reduction device is configured to reduce a size of at least a portion of the solids.
Claims20
A well system comprising:
- a subsea system to be positioned on a floor of a subsea at or near a current well that is formed in a subsurface formation below the floor of the subsea, the subsea system comprising:
- at least one solids reduction device to receive solids that were part of the subsurface formation from downhole at a surface of the current well, wherein the at least one solids reduction device is configured to reduce a size of at least a portion of the solids.
A well system comprising:
- a downhole system to be positioned downhole in a well that is formed in a subsurface formation below a floor of a subsea, the downhole system comprising,
- a solid separator configured to receive formation fluid that comprises solids, wherein the solid separator is configured to separate out at least a portion of the solids from the formation fluid, prior to transporting at least a portion of the formation fluid to a surface of the well;
- and
- a subsea system to be positioned on the floor of the subsea at or near the well, the subsea system comprising:
- at least one solids reduction device to receive the solids from downhole at a surface of the well, wherein the at least one solids reduction device is configured to reduce a size of at least a portion of the solids.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a subsea system positioned on a floor of a subsea at or near a current well that is formed in a subsurface formation below the floor of the subsea, solids from downhole of the current well;
- and
- reducing, by at least one solids reduction device that is part of the subsea system, a size of at least a portion of the solids.
