A subsea hydrocarbon production field includes a number of first subsea christmas trees, a first manifold, a number of first flexible flowline jumpers, each of which is connected between the first manifold and a corresponding first tree. Each first flowline jumper includes a first flow conduit and a number of first umbilical lines, and each first flowline jumper includes a first end which is removably connected to a corresponding first tree by a first multibore hub and connector arrangement and a second end which is removably connected to the first manifold by a second multibore hub and connector arrangement.

Subsea field architecture

A subsea system comprises a central template that is piled into the seabed and carried wing modules that are connected to the template by hinges. This allows the template to be deployed and the wing modules attached subsequently or for the wing modules to be folded upwardly into a collapsed disposition as the template is deployed. In either case, the template can be deployed through the moonpool of a vessel and does not require a heavy lifting barge. An example of a module usable with the template is a hinge-over guidebase which can allow the commencement of drilling of a well while a manifold and christmas tree are being constructed for subsequent attachment. Thus, installation of the system is easy and drilling of the well can commence quickly.
