Abstract

Various subsea production arrangements may utilize a base module and a pump module including one or more subsea pumps, such as ESPs or subsea centrifugal pumps, the base module and pump module being fluidly coupled together. An adjustable foot may be utilized to at least partially support the pump module at a horizontal distance from the base module. A horizontally oriented pump module may be equipped with a truss arrangement designed to reduce bending loads on the pump module. The base module and pump module may be delivered to a subsea location separately or in a single trip. A modular subsea production arrangement may enable low cost installation and/or operation and high adaptability of various combinations of well production equipment. Certain subsea production arrangements may include one or more retrievable FCU/LCU modules for use with subsea apparatus, such as pumps and compressors.
