Definitions
- the present invention is part of the field of oil and hydrocarbon production systems in general, in deep waters, which use wells and subsea equipment interconnected in a drainage and production network.
- the oil production obtained from each submarine well is drained, individually or in combination with the production of other wells, through submarine lines and risers to a production unit, such as an FPSO (floating production storage offloading), for example .
- FPSO floating production storage offloading
- marginal Some accumulations of oil in the sea, called marginal, have recoverable volumes close to the limits of viability and economic attractiveness of production. These limits are dynamic over time, with great sensitivity to variations in: (a) the price of oil commodities, (b) available technologies, (c) costs of equipment and services related to offshore exploration and production.
- the design of a production system arrangement is based on estimated production index values for producing wells.
- the real values of the productivity indexes for each well become known, with a variance in relation to the estimated average value used in the drainage grid design bases.
- Over time, and with the help of a 4D seismic system it is possible to verify the evolution and deviations of production in each region of the reservoir, as well as water progress and the performance of an eventual aquifer. Results may differ from what was initially planned and expected. In this way, corrective measures can be advantageous as early as possible, which sometimes require drilling and connection of new wells for a densification of the production wells network.
- subsea equipment such as: subsea pumping systems (BAB) base, subsea processing systems base (for example: separation), manifold, and on production adapter base (BAP); in order to provide extra points for connecting new wells without the need to disconnect existing wells or new risers.
- BAB subsea pumping systems
- BAP production adapter base

- Figure 3 illustrates an example of underwater arrangement that can benefit from the device of the present invention.
- the connector of device 1b according to one of the embodiments of the present invention is connected to the input mandrel of a BAB 8.
- the three mandrels 3, 4, 5 of device 1b of the present invention are connected to three production wells P1 , P2, P3 through three production jumpers J1, J1 ', J1 ”.
- the output chuck of the BAB 8 is connected to a single riser R1 to flow production to an FPSO 13.
- the device according to the present invention optionally comprises at least one interface for the handling and installation tool 7.
- Said interface can be any type of interface known from the state of technical.
- the device of the present invention can comprise at least one guide funnel 6 positioned around each of the chucks 3, 4, 5.
- Such funnels 6 serve to guide the fitting of the underwater lines in said chucks 3, 4 , 5.
- the device according to the present invention is designed with geometry to allow the pig to pass between its connection points.
