Abstract
A technique facilitates use and operation of a tree cap which may be deployed into engagement with a subsea tree located over a subsea well. The subsea tree may comprise a production flow passage and an annulus flow passage in communication with a tree cap receiving area. The tree cap may be moved via a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) into position in the tree cap receiving area. The ROV also may be operated to selectively lock and/or release the tree cap with respect to its position in the subsea tree.
