... connector, the underwater maintenance equipment, the structurals, the associated control system and all the required redundant facilities to provide the required mean time between failure The current environment of low and uncertain crude oil prices has led operators to put more emphasis on obtaining short...

... affected by manifolding, structural and control system constraints as well as inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) considerations. All of these factors make standardization difficult. The majority of wells, however, are predicted to be free-standing satellites, either in clusters around manifolds...
