Subsea Production System
q Subsea production systems are wells located on the sea floor, as opposed to at the surface. Typically in use at deep water,
and do not have the ability to drill, only to extract and transport
q Subsystems: the subsea system is divided into typical subsystems.
25
Pham Son Tung, Ph.D, Faculty of Geology & Petroleum Engineering, HCMUT, Vietnam 9/23/20
Wellhead
q Wellhead systems differ by well location:
Land
Surface locations offshore
Subsea
26

Onshore Wellhead
27
Pham Son Tung, Ph.D, Faculty of Geology & Petroleum Engineering, HCMUT, Vietnam 9/23/20
Subsea Wellhead
q Today, wellhead systems are designed to standard pressure classes which for offshore / subsea applications are 10,000 and
15,000 PSI. New developments are ongoing to expand the wellhead capacities to 20,000 PSI pressures and temperature up
to 400oF (~200oC).

Jumpers
q In subsea oil/gas production systems, a subsea jumper, as shown below, is a short pipe connector that is used to
transport production fluid between two subsea components, for example, a tree and a manifold, a manifold and
another manifold. It may also connect other subsea structures such as PLEM/PLETs and riser bases. In addition to being
used to transport production fluid, a jumper can also be used to inject water into a well.
30
Pham Son Tung, Ph.D, Faculty of Geology & Petroleum Engineering, HCMUT, Vietnam 9/23/20
Control systems
q Subsea Production Control Systems: would typically include subsea control module electronics and hydraulics, subsea
electrical/hydraulic and chemical injection distribution system, tree instrumentation, and hydraulic power units on
surface
• Hydraulic control: safe, durability, but response time is slow depending on the fluid movement. The response time is critical especially
in urgent case.
• Electrical control: fast, but not good durability
• Hydraulic & electrical mixed: take the advantages of the two
• Sonic control: newly developed. Example: to activate the Side Sliding Door

Umbilical
q An umbilical, is a bundled arrangement of tubing, piping, and/or electrical conductors in an armored sheath that is installed
from the host facility to the subsea production system equipment.
q Umbilical dimensions typically range up to 10 in. (25.4 cm) in diameter.
q The umbilical will include multiple tubing normally ranging in size up to 2 in. (5.08 cm).

Subsea tie-back development
q The host of subsea tie-backs can be categorized as follows:
• Tie-back to floating production unit;
• Tie-back to platform;
• Tie-back to onshore facility.
Subsea Tie-Back to FPSO Subsea Tie-Back to TLP Subsea Tie-Back to Onshore Facility
34
Pham Son Tung, Ph.D, Faculty of Geology & Petroleum Engineering, HCMUT, Vietnam 9/23/20
Stand-alone development
q Stand alone field development needs to construct a new
host platform. Installation of new infrastructure in deep
water is exceedingly expensive.
q Using the existing infrastructure is the first consideration
for starting a new development. This includes existing
production platforms, pipelines and wells.
q Following issues are the main considerations for a stand-
alone field development:
• Well groupings. Clustering wells or installing well
templates;
• Optimizing flowline configuration;
• Pigging requirements;
• Possible needs for subsea production boosting or Typical stand–alone field development
pumping as part of the initial development or future
needs.

Two Phase Flow... Ap
qg
ql
qg ql
The input volumetric fraction of each phase is defined by: lg = ll =
q g + ql q g + ql
The superficial velocity of each phase is define as the velocity each phase qg ql
would have if flowing alone in the pipe: Vsg = Vsl =
Ap Ap
q g + ql
q The total mixture velocity is: V = V + V =
m sg sl
Ap
Since this is a steady state problem, we expect the flowrates at the exit
to be the same as the flowrates at the entrance of the pipe.
56
Pham Son Tung, Ph.D, Faculty of Geology & Petroleum Engineering, HCMUT, Vietnam 9/23/20
Two Phase Flow Variables...
The fraction of the pipe area occupied by gas is ag. The area occupied
by liquid is al.
qg qg
ql ql
qg Al Ag qg
lg = al = ag = lg =
q g + ql Ap Ap q g + ql
ql ql
ll = ll =
q g + ql a g + al = 1 q g + ql
Remember that the inlet phase volumetric fraction is just a ratio of the phase
flowrate to the mixture flowrate
The actual volumetric fraction is the fraction of the pipe occupied by the phase.
Those values are not necessarily the same
The inlet volumetric fraction is defined by the liquid and gas flowrates or liquid
and gas superficial velocities.
The actual volumetric fraction is the result of the spatial distribution of the phases
and will also influence the phases actual velocities.

Inlet volumetric fraction lg = ll =

Pham Son Tung, Ph.D, Faculty of Geology & Petroleum Engineering, HCMUT, Vietnam 9/23/20
Two Phase Flow Variables...
We can see that under those conditions, both phases have the same velocity, the
mixture velocity
We say that the phases have no “slip” (no slippage between phases)
For that reason the value of the inlet phase fraction is also called “no-slip” phase
fraction. And this is the nomenclature we will adopt from this point on.
V g = Vl = Vm
lg = a g
