Abstract
A subsea drilling template has a plurality of drilling guides disposed at various angles relative to the plane of the template. The drilling guides cause angular deviation of the drill string passing into the guides resulting in wide spacing of the boreholes drilling through the template. The widespread boreholes allow efficient production of shallow subsea hydrocarbon producing formation without the need of satellite wells.
