Subsea Production System
A Subsea Production System (SPS) is a collection of equipment and technology used to extract oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor. It includes components like subsea trees, which control the flow of hydrocarbons, and manifolds that gather production from multiple wells. SPS allows for efficient resource extraction in deepwater environments where traditional platforms are not feasible.
These systems are designed to operate in harsh underwater conditions, ensuring safety and reliability. They are often connected to surface facilities via pipelines and control systems, enabling remote monitoring and operation. The use of SPS can significantly reduce the environmental impact of offshore drilling.
