Template Functions The primary function of a subsea template is to provide guidance for positioning wells and controlling their positions relative to one another. Some specific functions of a subsea template are: To provide a guide for positioning the well conductor and guiding the conductor during installation. To control spacing between adjacent well conductors. To provide guidance and support for the BOP in some cases. To provide guidance and support for well completion equipment (e.g. trees) in some cases. To accommodate pre-installation of well flowline piping and facilitate interface of the production trees with their flowlines. To accommodate pre-installation of tree control hardware and facilitate interface of the production trees with their controls.

Manifold functionsThe general function of a subsea manifold is to gather and distribute production through an arrangement of piping and valves. Some specific functions are: To collect the flow from individual satellite wells into a production header and control the delivery of the commingled flow to a field production gathering flowline To collect the flow from several field production gathering flowlines and deliver that flow to a larger production export pipeline. To isolate the production from individual wells and deliver it to a well test header or a well test flowline. To segregate high pressure and low pressure production into separate high pressure and low pressure headers and flowlines. To control the flow from individual wells by means of subsea chokes. Wells may be choked at the trees or at the manifold.
Manifold functions (contd) To distribute injection water or gas from a common supply header to individual injection wells (water injection or gas injection manifolds). To distribute lift gas from a common lift gas header to individual wells (lift gas manifold). To facilitate pigging of subsea pipelines by provision of pig isolation valves, tees and pig detector instrumentation mounted on the manifold structure. To provide structural support of the piping and flowline connector at the flowline connection interface. To provide ROV or installation tool interfaces for installation of flowlines, chokes, pig launchers, pig receivers and other components.

TEMPLATE MANIFOLDS vs WELL CLUSTERS ABOUT A MANIFOLD (Advantages and Disadvantages) TEMPLATE MANIFOLDEngineering - Complex due to number Of Components and Contractor Interfaces - Tolerated Interfaces on Tree and Manifolds - Template Required Before Drilling - Integrated Testing Required - Top Hole Locations Constrained by Template - Need for Spare Well Slots - Heavy Lift and Levelling Required
WELL CLUSTER- Simple Independent Interfaces - Separate Equipment Package
Schedule
- Fast Track Early Drilling before Hardware - Flexible Well Numbers and locations - Appraisal well Tie-in Ability - Lower Weight Manifold Lift - Not Sensitive to Levelling requirement - Layout Permits Simultaneous Drilling, Production and IMR - Needs Protection on Trees and Jumpers to be covered - Phased CAPEX - Good Access and IMR opportunity - Simple abandonment Operations, Lower Weights

Safety Protection
- SIMPOS Problems - Inherently Better
